Noise complaints lead to sign postings

Advertiser Staff

In response to complaints about noisy car sound systems, county workers on the Big Island have erected warning signs on Banyan Drive and at the Keaukaha area beaches to remind motorists about the county's noise ordinance.

The signs read, "Warning: Violation of Noise Ordinance Strictly Enforced."

The penalty for repeat offenders who violate the noise ordinance is a fine of up to $1,000 and forfeiture of the violator's sound system.

Police intend to enforce the noise ordinance island wide.
