WHEREAS The Board of Trustees of Newbury Township, has received complaints from citizens residing along streets and roadways traveled by trucks regarding loud noises emitted by trucks using diesel engine retarders known as “Engine brakes,” which reduce the trucks’ rate of speed, but cause the trucks’ exhaust system to emit loud, cracking or chattering noises unusual to the normal operations; and

(D) No person shall race the motor of any vehicle described in this Section in such a manner that the exhaust system emits a loud, cracking, or chattering noise unusual to its normal operation.
Section 2. This Board further hereby determines that the use of an engine retarder (including but not limited to, so-called “Engine Brakes”) on a motor vehicle causes the motor vehicles motor to race in such a manner as to cause its exhaust system to emit a loud cracking or chattering noise unusual to its normal operation, and by this regulation hereby prohibits such use within the unincorporated area of the Township.
