Ok .. Black and white sign "Engine Brakes Prohibited" I can understand that. "Unmuffled Engine Brakes Restricted" I can assume they mean that unmuffled engine brakes have some sort of restriction that I will know more when the officer cites me :lol:
First what is the difference between the keyword "Prohibited" which is very clear and the keyword "Restricted"? What does "Engine Brakes Restricted next 'X' miles" mean as compared to an absoutely clear use of the word prohibited? Does this indicate that in fact Engine Brakes are prohibited? Does Restrcited here have an unwritten meaning that only muffled engine brakes are allowed although this is not stated?
You might think this is a stupid question, but I asked three of Utah's finest about the sign in St George and I got three somewhat different answers ranging from "if you have to use them do otherwise use your brakes" to "If you use them I will write you up .."
OK somebody with some experiences in Utah might chime in ....
