(a)
It shall be unlawful for any person to activate or engage or to have activated or engaged any compression release engine braking system in the city limits unless such engine braking system is connected to a lawful muffler which is adequate to and does prevent the emission of noise which is louder than normal and lawful engine operating noise.

Appropriate signs shall be posted at entrances to the city.

Any person violating any of the provisions of this section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction shall be subject to a fine in an amount not to exceed five hundred dollars ($500.00).
