At its session on November 25, the Saint-Laurent Borough Council adopted an amendment to introduce specific limits on noise emitted by vehicles, including—but not limited to—passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and heavy vehicles.

With the amendment 1140-14, the following noises are now considered nuisances and are prohibited:

• Rattling vehicle parts or loose items on vehicles
• The abusive use of audible warning devices
• Excessive noise from a radio or other broadcasting device
• Squealing tires
• Noise from an inefficient exhaust system
• Excessive engine revving when starting, stopping, or during repeated accelerations

The Saint-Laurent community is invited to actively work together to reduce noise pollution and contribute to a harmonious living environment.

I am proud to announce this amendment to the nuisance bylaw, as it delivers on an important commitment for our administration: providing a peaceful environment for our citizens. As Saint-Laurent is an arrondissement with a strong family vocation, preserving quality of life in our neighbourhoods is essential.
