Warning on Sirens and Air Horns in Elyria
Elyria police chief J. Stankard says air horns and similar devices on buses and private cars are barred under the city ordinance that restricts sirens whistles and bells on official vehicles. Exceptions exist for excessively loud horns deemed nuisances and air horns used away from city streets. The ordinance requires vehicles to pull aside and stop when a siren is heard and to yield to fire police and ambulance vehicles.
