We are introducing a “Quiet Zone” on the route this year. This will be on Caldwell Road between Cow Bay Road and Shore Road. On this portion of the route, drivers will refrain from blowing their horns, playing loud music, etc. We hope this will create an opportunity for families who may have members who are bothered by the loud noise to come out and enjoy the Convoy. We cannot guarantee silence but we will do our utmost to encourage drivers to minimize the noise for these few blocks.
