Toronto- Medical officer wants idling limited to 10 seconds

CTV Toronto- Medical officer wants idling limited to 10 seconds - CTV News, Shows and Sports -- Canadian Television
Toronto's Board of Health has passed a proposal from the city's medical officer of health that aims to limit the time vehicles can idle to just 10 seconds.
...
"It's a lot easier for an enforcement officer to tell when you've been idling the vehicle for 10 seconds than to wait around to see if you've idled for three minutes," McKeown said.

The Board of Health is also asking the provincial and federal governments to look into making it mandatory to put devices in vehicles that would automatically shut off the engines if idled too long.
