From Acting City Manager Les Landen

Pilot Project: Engine-braking. The City will be implementing a pilot program to deal with the negative effects of engine-braking on truck routes near residential areas. The City will post signs prohibiting the practice and enforce the ordinance if trucks are observed by an officer engaging in the practice. Engine-braking is a method of slowing a tractor-trailer engine without using brakes. It produces a very loud noise. The City has had many complaints regarding the practice.
