No Engine Brake Signs
No Engine Brake signs — also called No Jake Brake signs — prohibit the use of engine (compression) braking, which makes a loud noise from large trucks. Rice Signs offers the No Engine Brake sign (R14-1a) and the Engine Braking Prohibited By City Ordinance sign (R14-1b) for residential areas, downgrades near towns, and noise-sensitive zones — on rust-proof .080" aluminum with reflective options.

No Engine Brake Signs FAQ
What is a No Engine Brake sign?
A No Engine Brake sign prohibits drivers, mainly of large trucks, from using engine (compression) braking, which produces a loud noise. Communities post them to reduce noise, especially in residential areas and on downgrades near towns.
Is a No Engine Brake sign the same as a No Jake Brake sign?
Yes. Engine braking is commonly called a Jake brake (after a leading brand of compression brake), so No Engine Brake and No Jake Brake signs refer to the same restriction.
What is the difference between R14-1a and R14-1b?
R14-1a reads No Engine Brake, while R14-1b reads Engine Braking Prohibited By City Ordinance, referencing the local law that enforces the restriction.
Where are No Engine Brake signs used?
They are common in residential areas, near hospitals and schools, and on grades approaching towns where truck engine-braking noise is a concern.
What sizes and materials are available?
No Engine Brake signs come in multiple sizes on rust-proof .080-inch aluminum with reflective sheeting options, and can be produced as custom signs.
