b. Do not unnecessarily idle powered vehicles more than five minutes when vehicle is stopped for a foreseeable period of time.
c. Restrict idle time to less than five minutes for vehicles making frequent and multiple stops.
d. Remove ice or frost from windows with a scraper. If not feasible to use ice scrapers or de-icing chemicals, idling for the purpose of de-icing is allowed.
