(A) No person shall drive or operate a vehicle exceeding 5,000 pounds in gross weight within the corporate limits of the city using engine compression brakes or an engine retarder system to stop or slow down the vehicle if the system causes the vehicle's motor to race in such a manner as to cause the exhaust system to emit a loud, cracking, backfiring, or chattering noise unusual to its normal operation. The practice is sometimes commonly known as “jake braking."
(B) The prohibition shall be designated by appropriate signs placed at or near the city limits on U.S. Highway 27 and State Road 218 (I.C. 9-20-1-3(C)(2)).
