The event was restricted to a small group of children while observing COVID-19 safety protocols, including masks and hand sanitizing. Graham Paine/Metroland COOL CODING An operation aimed at silencing unneces- sarily loud vehicles has resulted in more than 1,400 charges being laid. Halton police have announced the conclu- sion of its 2020 Project #Noisemaker strategic enforcement campaign. The region-wide project -- running from June 10 to Oct. 31 -- was launched in response to complaints from residents about loud and unnecessary noise from vehicles which had been altered by removing mufflers or modi- fying exhaust systems. Police said Project #Noisemaker took aim at illegal modifications, unsafe motor vehi- cles and aggressive driving. The project resulted in more than 1,420 charges laid region-wide including: • 574 charges for no/improper muffler • 396 charges for unnecessary noise • 12 racing/stunt driving charges. Additional charges were laid for vehicle defects, moving violations, licence violations, licence plate violations, violations of the Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act, and violations of the Environmental Protection Act. Police said that during the project more than 40 vehicles were removed from the road- way for various reasons, including defects (causing the vehicle to be unfit), improper li- cences and stunt driving legislation. Project #Noisemaker was also successful in interrupting an unsanctioned car club meet in Oakville on Aug. 22. On that night, around 800 vehicles showed up at Sixteen Mile Sports Complex without permits to use Town of Oakville property. Police said Project #Noisemaker also en- gaged in a partnership with the Town of Oak- ville Municipal Enforcement Service (MES). Halton police and MES officers conducted enforcement on motorcycles creating unac- ceptable noise in contravention of Oakville's motorcycle noise bylaws. MES officers completed 56 motorcycle in- spections and issued 17 provincial offence no- tices for motorcycles causing noise in excess of the town bylaws. While Project #Noise- maker has officially concluded for 2020, po- lice emphasized enforcement will not cease. They noted Halton officers will remain vigilant in addressing these issues on local roadways. Residents can file driving complaints or request enforcement of a particular area on- line at www.haltonpolice.ca. OVER 1,400 CHARGES LAID DURING PROJECT #NOISEMAKER NEWS
