Modified exhausts, squealing tires, and car stereos audible at 25 feet are prohibited under Winter Park Code Chapter 62 and FL Statute 316.293. Police actively enforce along Park Avenue and Fairbanks Avenue corridors.
Florida Statute 316.293 provides statewide authority on vehicle noise, setting the 25-foot audibility standard for vehicle stereos. Winter Park PD issues citations during cruising enforcement on Park Avenue, especially weekend evenings. Modified/straight-pipe exhausts violate both state equipment standards (FL 316.272) and local noise code. The Park Avenue business district is a frequent enforcement zone due to pedestrian density.
FL 316.293 citation: $114 non-moving violation. Equipment violations (modified exhaust) $116. Repeated violations may require vehicle inspection and restoration of factory exhaust.
