During the last several weeks, the Seal Beach Police Department has received numerous complaints about loud vehicles with modified exhaust traveling on Seal Beach streets.
Enforcement Campaign
As a result of the disruptive noise complaints and the number of illegally modified vehicles seen and heard, the Seal Beach Police Department launched an enforcement campaign to address these safety and quality of life issues.
In order to educate the public on the rules surrounding vehicle exhaust laws and notify the community of the upcoming enforcement operations, the Seal Beach Police Department placed several electronic sign boards with a warning message along Seal Beach Boulevard, Pacific Coast Highway, and First Street.
The Seal Beach Police Department also launched a social media campaign to heighten awareness of loud exhaust noise and increased enforcement of this violation. Visit the Seal Beach Police Department on Facebook and Instagram to view these posts @sealbeachpolice.
