Noise ordinance
To help give Irving residents a more peaceful and quiet environment in which to live, the city has strengthened its noise guidelines. New language allows the Police Department to provide enhanced enforcement of several ordinance clauses. Highlights include:
- Prohibiting commercial vehicle idling in excess of 15 minutes within residential areas or within 300 feet of a residential structure.
- Prohibiting devices that cause vibration beyond the boundary of the source property.
- Limiting construction and repairs generally between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. on weekdays, and between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. on weekends.
- Testing of emergency signals only between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m.
Additional changes to the ordinance included the elimination of outdated language. Violations of any ordinance clause may result in a fine.
