Bylaws related to idling and reduction signs

Return to Bylaws by topic

Our Community Standards Bylaw prohibits trucks in residential areas from idling for longer than 20 minutes when the truck is stationary or within 150 metres of a residential development.

To help reduce idling, we have developed a sign that can be posted in problem areas. You may download, print, and use this PDF file:

Idle Free Zone Sign

Green plastic idling signs (maximum number of two per customer) are available at no charge and white metal idling signs are available for purchase at:
