The Board of Clallam County Commissioners finds that there are several areas of the County where engine compression brakes are used regularly and that the use of such brakes is not in the best interest of the public health and general welfare of the citizens present in those areas.

The Board further finds that neither the terrain nor road design geometrics, in these areas, warrant the regular use of engine compression brakes.

The Board further finds that high volumes of vehicles equipped with engine compression brakes travel through those areas described in CCC 11.11.040 and that such volume, coupled with regular use of such brakes, has created an intolerable environment for persons present in those areas.
