Camden County's ordinance restricts idling of vehicles over 10,000 lbs to five minutes per hour when stationary within 150 feet of a residential area between 8:00 pm and 8:00 am. Registered on-road vehicles otherwise fall under state motor-vehicle noise rules.
Section 6.2.5 prohibits operating any motor vehicle with a manufacturer's gross weight over 10,000 pounds, or its auxiliary equipment, 'for a period of longer than five (5) minutes in any hour while the vehicle is stationary' for non-traffic, non-emergency reasons, on a public right-of-way within 150 feet of a residential area between 8:00 pm and 8:00 am. The county ordinance covers stationary sources; noise from vehicles operating on public roads is largely governed by New Jersey's statewide motor-vehicle and noise regulations rather than the county.
Prohibited act; up to $3,000 per offense, each day a separate offense; on-road vehicle-noise citations are issued under state motor-vehicle law.
