Montreal snow removal - tow truck warning siren

[coreysteele09]

This horn shit makes me want to jump off the roof!!! What an annoying freaking noise. Too bad if people don't move their cars...I parked mine on Sherbrooke and saw the temporary No Parking signs that said no parking from 1900 to 700. I went out at 6:30 and moved my car to a spot where I could park. If no one else does that...then to damned bad. Why should the whole neighborhood suffer?? The first time they did this was like 3am to 5am was awake for the whole night!!!!!! FML!!!!

sounds like my pokemon gonna faint from getting hurt by poison

I think they should just tow all the cars and dump them in a lake somewhere. Fuck this worthless city.

not an ideal alarm clock

[Laudrien]

I´m glad they don´t do that around here. I would not want to wake up to that...

[tordenmann]

I woke up 7 AM to this shit sound today, ruining my 3 hours of sleep. This is the most retarded shit i've ever come across anywhere. Whatever idiot in the quebec/montreal whatever fucking government who decided this would be OK is a fucking prick.

[seawind0721]

I hate that noise, and I don't even live there!

[piersremus]

ok so I dont know much of whats going on over there....but been reading some comments and they talk of that this siren is a warning and so on. If I where the state city or wherever this is practised I would say just go out anybody not complying to rules town them away and then bill them. faster ,easier ,dead silent and job is done!

[dancinqt5013]

heard this at least twice this morning. It's the most annoying sound to be hearing while you're half asleep.Thank god I don't have a car to move, but it sucks that I still have to hear this ridiculous alarm!

[Coolsim450]

I waoke to this sound at 7:30 this morning. I hate it but I mostly hate the people who let their car in the street knowing the usual time for snow removal. I have to pay the price for those fucking jerks when I don't even own a car. Sigh.

[raakone]

@Coolsim450 I wonder, was there more compliance back when they had the special no-parking lights. The problem is, the city got a raw deal for powering them from HQ, so they replaced them with those clip on signs....that lots of people seem to treat as some kind of decoration. Meaning others get that alarm clock they don't want!

The point is that if you don't fuck off the road, they'll tow you and you'll get a 100 bucks citation. That's the point. It's not meant for a music concert. It's meant for you to get the fuck out and get the fuck out of the way.

I just moved to Montréal and heard this for the first time this morning. I guessed that's what the siren was for, because I knew the déneigement was this morning.

Welcome to Montréal!

[Farricelli]

How much time between the warning and the towing?

[42dieppe]

When you hear that noise, you better put your coat and boots on and get your car out of there...hehe

[shzzztodanizz]

@Farricelli they will drive around as a warning an hour or so before, but as the plow gets closer to your street they will do one or two final passes where the truck stops at your car and turns on the siren. At that point you have about 15 minutes before you get towed.

[AVaneDew]

@Farricelli Sometimes they don't even blow the horns at all. Really irritates the hell out of me when they don't...

[TroySundt]

woah! this sounds just like the tornado alarm we used to have in school!

[gottaloveicarly1]

its pretty dum. can it not have like a normal siren!

[pigidly]

@gottaloveicarly1 well... you know that this siren means get your car out the street or its ticket time and towing! its 92$ ticket and it suck ass...  you dont mistake this with a ambulance...

[privateviewer001]

i wish they had that in chicago i got towed in a so called "snow zone" and got a fucking ticket for $300 fucking dollars without the fucking towing and storage

[Audinos]

It's like a Martinshorn on crack.
