Truckers in Ottawa have been ordered to stop honking their horns in an ongoing protest that has snarled up the city.
The loud and constant blare of truck horns has become one of the defining features of the movement against Canada's vaccine mandates.
But a judge has now ruled that they be silenced for the next 10 days.
The presence of hundreds of trucks and their noisy honking had prompted anger among local people and business owners.
The Freedom Convoy protest has spread to several cities and was formed against rules that truckers must be vaccinated to cross the US border.
Many Ottawa residents say their patience with the protests has been wearing thin and have voiced frustration with the way it is impacting their daily lives.
Among the complaints have been traffic blocked by trucks, city parks taken over by makeshift campsites and wooden structures and disruptions to businesses and fears of harassment.
