## Resource

State lawmakers are drafting new laws to crack down on excessive vehicle noise on highways like Woodward Avenue, where loud engines have become a year-round nuisance—disrupting sleep, scaring pets, and aggravating PTSD sufferers. Since local ordinances don’t cover state roads, House Bills 6151 and 6152 aim to empower police to issue citations based on visible modifications and audible noise, without needing invasive inspections. First-time offenders face $500 fines, rising to $1,000 for repeat violations—but drivers can reduce penalties by restoring original mufflers before court. While some drivers call the fines steep, supporters hope the legislation will finally bring quiet back to neighborhoods and give law enforcement a practical tool to tackle this long-standing problem.
