Noisy Trucks - USA - Clamp put on
Portsmouth,NH,USA -Portsmouth Herald News, by Emily Aronson -16 May 2006: -- The City Council hopes a new ordinance approved Monday will put the brake on noisy trucks... The ordinance prohibits truck drivers from using engine compression brakes that create "excessive, loud, unusual or explosive noise"...
