Please share or send this post to your friends in Weir to help us get the word out, our goal is prevention and education so that we don’t have to put a damper on anyone’s weekend.
As we begin the celebration of Americas ‘s 250th Birthday I wanted to take this time to share a few tips & to remind everyone of a few ordinances so this Holiday weekend can be safely & peacefully enjoyed by all.
Noise Ordinance: No person shall operate, or permit to be operated, any motor vehicle which emits level of noise generated from the engine, exhaust or tires, if the sound being generated therefrom can be heard at a distance of fifty feet or more from the vehicle producing the sound, and is in excess of the normal noise generated from a moving vehicle. This noise restriction is designed to prohibit excessively loud exhaust systems, whether caused by design or neglect, squealing tires, rapid accelerations, or any and all other disturbances of the peace caused by willfully operating a vehicle in such a manner. No residence/ property shall allow music to be played that can be heard nor that 100 feet from the residence.
Any person violating any provision of this ordinance shall be guilty of a misderneanor and upon conviction shall be fined not less than Two Hunired Dollars ($200.00) and not more than Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00)
Discharging a firearm inside the Town Limits: up to a 500 dollar fine and/or 0 to 30 days in jail.
We also ask that the shooting of fireworks conclude by 10 p.m. out of respect for your neighbors. Please be careful when shooting fireworks both for your safety & the safety of others around you. Be mindful of the hot weather we are experiencing, make sure to take breaks in the shade & drink plenty of water & electrolytes.
We hope you have a wonderful & safe Independence Day Weekend! 🇺🇸
