Cramerton to draft ordinance limiting truck engine/compression-brake noise near Eagle/Lakewood
Summary
A commissioner asked staff and the town attorney to draft an ordinance restricting use of engine/compression ('Jake') brakes near the Eagle/Lakewood intersection; the ordinance will be considered and voted on at a future meeting.
At the March 4 workshop a commissioner asked the Board to explore options to address loud noise from trucks using engine or compression brakes near the Eagle/Lakewood intersection. Town staff and the town attorney said they would prepare a draft ordinance similar to those used by other municipalities to restrict such usage. The ordinance will return to the Board for consideration and a vote at a future meeting; no ordinance language or enforcement details were provided at the workshop.
The discussion framed the issue as a nuisance and safety concern for families, children and residents near the intersection; staff will bring legal language and recommendations back to the Board for formal action.
