Project Noisemaker & E.R.A.S.E.

REGION OF PEEL - Illegal street racing and aggressive high-speed driving continue to be a problem on our roads.

Peel Regional Police participated in Project E.R.A.S.E. (Eliminating Racing Activities on Streets Everywhere) and Project Noisemaker program.

Project E.R.A.S.E. is a strategic enforcement initiative to eliminate dangerous driving behaviour on our streets to keep our community safe. Project Noisemaker targets vehicles with modified and/or excessively loud exhaust systems.

The ERASE Program aims to change poor and aggressive driver behaviour through education, strategic enforcement, and modifying social behaviour. Street racing is an illegal and dangerous activity that risks the lives of our community members.

From May 1, 2023, to October 1, 2023, officers identified hotspot locations throughout the Region of Peel and targeted those areas as part of the program strategy. During this time, officers investigated 941 vehicles and issued 1230 Provincial Offence Notices. Some of the offences included:

▪ 783 stunt driving charges,

▪ 170 Improper/No Muffler charges,

▪ 25 Criminal Code charges related to impaired and dangerous driving

We remind the public that street racing is illegal and that it endangers the safety of everyone on the road. To ensure safety on our roads, Peel Regional Police will have zero tolerance for dangerous driving behaviours and street racing activities. Our officers remain vigilant twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.

Peel Regional Police is committed to road safety as a core policing function. Speeding, aggressive driving, and impaired enforcement are top priorities for our officers and service.

Anyone with information concerning aggressive driving or illegal street racing activities are asked to contact police by calling 905-453-3311.
