Newark CO §634.04(a)(8)(B) requires any exterior burglar alarm, fire alarm, or motor vehicle burglar alarm to automatically terminate within two minutes of activation, or within a reasonable time after notification. Excessive horn use is also prohibited.
Section 634.04(a)(8)(B) sets a 2-minute auto-shutoff requirement for any exterior burglar/fire alarm and any motor vehicle burglar alarm - the alarm must reset within two minutes of activation or within a reasonable time after the owner is notified. Section 634.04(a)(8)(C) bars sounding any horn or auditory signaling device on a motor vehicle on a public right-of-way except as a warning of danger. Testing of fixed emergency signaling devices (sirens, factory whistles) is limited to between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. under §634.04(a)(8)(A) with a 60-second maximum cycle for device tests and 10 minutes for full-system tests.
Minor misdemeanor first ($150); fourth-degree on repeat ($250). Each day a separate offense. Owners of vehicles whose alarms repeatedly violate the 2-minute rule may be charged each time.
