The experiment is unique worldwide and it aims to reduce noise pollution
In an attempt to fight against noise pollution, the French government announced last week that it had launched an experiment with so-called 'sound radars'. The radars will check for drivers running at excessive speed, or for those driving “tampered” vehicles. The move is part of an experiment in 7 local communities and will last 2 years. Although it is a test, noisy drivers could nevertheless be subject to fines of up to 135 euros.
Noise pollution can have a major impact on one’s wellbeing and health. Moreover, it can have financial dimensions: the Ministry of Ecological Transition estimates that it costs around 147 billion euros every year to French society. In addition, citing Bruitparif, they explain that excessive noise causes a loss of nearly 11 months of healthy life expectancy.
Reducing noise pollution, therefore, needs active measures, especially when it is caused by human activity. Such is the case with noise caused by traffic and even more so with driving at manifestly excessive speeds or "tampered" vehicles.
To control this, the French state will be placing fixed and mobile automatic monitoring devices, also called "sound radars". Unlike existing sound radars, which can be used only upon stopping the vehicle for traffic control, the new devices should simplify sound controls and improve their efficiency. This will make it possible to penalize behaviour aimed at artificially increasing the noise generated by a vehicle.
The experiment will unfold in two phases:
Seven territorial unities in France will participate in experimentation with sound radars. The cities which volunteered and were selected to participate in the experiment are the following:
The radars will not encompass the entire territories, only the locations specified on the map in the gallery. Depending on the results of the experiment, sound radar devices may be deployed throughout the national territory provided that the appropriate legislation is passed.
