Be it ordained by the Board of Commissioners of Salt Lake
City, Utah:
SECTION 1. That Section 291 of Article 23 of the Revised
Ordinances of Salt Lake City, Utah, 1965, relating to Noise Standards,
be, and the same hereby is, amended to read as follows:
Section 290. * * *
Section 291. Motor Vehicle Noise. It shall be unlawful

or knowingly permit to be driven or moved either a motor
vehicle or combination of vehicles at any time in such a
manner as to exceed the following noise limits for the
category of motor vehicle shown in subparagraph (a) (1) and
(a) (2) . Noise shall be measured at a distance of twenty-
five feet (7.5m) from the near side of the nearest lane be-
ing monitored and at a height of at least four feet (1.2m).
(a)
(1) Any motor vehicle with a manufacture GVW rating
of 10,000 lbs. or less or any combination of vehicle
towed by such motor vehicles shall not emit a sound pres-
sure level to exceed 88 dB(A).
(2) Any motor vehicle with a manufacturer GVW rating
of 10,000 lbs. or less or any combination of motor vehi-
cles towed by such motor vehicles shall not emit a sound
pressure level to exceed 80 dB(A).
(3) Subparagraphs (1) and (2) of this section shall
apply only to vehicles traveling on streets with a posted
speed limit of forty (40) miles per hour or less.
(b) This section applies to the total noise from a vehi-
cle or combination of vehicles and shall not be construed as
limiting or precluding the enforcement of any other provisions
of this title relating to motor vehicle mufflers for noise
control.
(c) No person shall sell or lease, or offer for sale or
lease any motor vehicle of a type described above which ex-
ceeds the maximum decibel levels set forth above.
-L-
(d) Any vehicle which is found not to be in conformity
with this Article and which is manufactured prior to Janu-
ary 1, 1974, may be exempted from the noise levels specified
herein provided a good and sufficient showing can be made:
(1) That it is mechanically impossible without major
construction to modify such equipment so as to be in com-
pliance; or,
(2) That to comply would cause irrepairable harm or
injury to the engine of said vehicle.
An exemption may be granted if the Board of Commissioners
or its authorized representative shall be satisfied that a
condition as provided above exists rendering compliance im-
possible, that the vehicle is equipped in all other respects
so as to minimize to the maximum degree possible the objec-
tional noise, and that the noise thus emitted shall not be
of such a nature as to necessitate its total prohibition.
This provision shall not apply to new equipment which, as
manufactured, could have complied with the noise levels spec-
ified above, but which has been modified so as to no longer
be in compliance.
SECTION 2. In the opinion of the Board of Commissioners it
is necessary to the peace, health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants
of Salt Lake City that this ordinance become effective immediately.
SECTION 3. This ordinance shall take effect upon its first
publication.
Passed by the Board of Commissioners of Salt Lake City, Utah,
this30th day of October, 1973.
