Truckers will be asked to go easy on use of Jake brakes
Truckers will be asked to go easy on use of Jake brakes

It's not clear how much good it will do, but King Township is going to try reduce the use of engine or Jake brakes on trucks in villages.
King councillors recently went along with the motion from Councillor Jeff Laidlaw to pass a bylaw restricting their use.
York Regional council last year voted to ask the province to look at the amending the Highway Traffic Act to help with enforcement to prevent unnecessary noise from these breaks. Township council agreed to send a letter to the Ministry of Transportation supporting that effort.

There are some nasty hills in King Township. I guess they think that jakes just make noise, or maybe they just want trucks hauling heavy loads to crush the little Honda Civics that just cut that truck off with no room to stop for that red light!
Even if it's not necessary to help stop I've found that a bit of jake will almost allways open up some lane in front of you when the 4 wheeler gets scared and moves over!
