The Windsor Police Service issued thousands of tickets during its 2023 anti-noise campaign.
A total of 3,000 citations were issued for speeding, stunt driving, and other noise-related infractions during the campaign, which ran from May 1 to Sept. 5.
The goal of the campaign was aimed at reducing unnecessary and excessive vehicular noise.
Officers targeted motorists who raced their vehicles, revved their engines, squealed their tires or produced unnecessary noise.
Over a four-month period, officers handed out 2,865 citations for speeding, 77 citations for stunt driving, and 58 citations for other noise-related infractions.
"Unnecessary vehicle noise and speeding continue to be among the top concerns for people in our community," said Inspector Jennifer Crosby, who oversees our Traffic Enforcement Unit. "We hope that the actions taken throughout this campaign will encourage people to slow down, discourage unnecessary noise, and ultimately make our streets safer for everyone."
Police remind the public that while the campaign has ended, officers will continue to monitor for noise-related offences and take appropriate enforcement action.
