PARKS, La. (KLFY) -- Residents of the Village of Parks have been disturbed by late-night truck noise for months, prompting the local council to introduce a new ordinance to address the issue.

The ordinance, announced by Mayor Kevin Kately, will prohibit Jake braking by eighteen-wheelers within the village due to growing complaints from homeowners about the noise.

"They're doing it at one, two o'clock, three o'clock, in the morning when people have to go to work in the morning and this thing really wakes you up, it's like a siren," said Mayor Kevin Kately.

Kately says homeowners have complained about eighteen-wheelers making the noise when traveling on Main Highway when entering the Village of Parks from Breaux Bridge.
