For Release: August 15, 2014

As a result of bylaw changes City Council made to address all loud motor vehicles in our community, the Saskatoon Police Service will be holding public noise testing clinics for motorcycle owners over the next few weeks. 

In May, 2014 the City of Saskatoon introduced amendments to Bylaw 8244, The Noise Bylaw.

“The changes were made to address community concerns regarding cars, trucks and motorcycles creating excessive and unreasonable noise,” says City Solicitor Patricia Warwick.

“While all vehicles are subject to noise laws, the testing of decibel levels is specific to motorcycles.”

The clinics are one component of a public education campaign and ticket-free amnesty period during the 2014 motorcycle riding season. 

“These clinics are just a part of creating greater awareness in the community about noisy vehicles and what owners’ responsibilities are,” says Insp. Lorne Constantinoff.

 “We want motorcycle riders to come in, ask some questions and test their bike without any worry of receiving a ticket.”

The Saskatoon Police Service has purchased decibel readers and trained several officers in their use.

Motorcycle owners are invited to have decibel levels tested at public clinics beginning August 15, 2014 at 1:00 p.m., at Redline Harley Davidson, 102 – 23rd Street East.

A list of clinics is available at http://police.saskatoon.sk.ca/excessivevehiclenoise.  Motorcycle owners whose bikes are not compliant with the Noise Bylaw will not be issued a ticket by police at the testing clinics.
