A sound radar, which measures noise, will be inaugurated this Tuesday by the Minister of Ecological Transition, Barbara Pompili, in the Haute Vallée de Chevreuse (Yvelines) to fight against noise pollution from two-wheelers.
If they are exceeded, drivers are liable to a fine of 135 euros.
Installed on departmental road 46, near Saint-Lambert (Yvelines), this radar will come into operation on Tuesday, for a six-month approval phase, but the verbalizations will not begin until the summer of 2022.
A sound threshold of 72 dB maximum
Motorcycles, quads and scooters… This road, known for its hairpin bends and its landscape, is very popular with two-wheeled drivers. But in the future, they will have to be more discreet. This new generation radar works like a traditional radar: if the noise level is exceeded, it records the plate and reports the vehicle concerned.
Currently, the sound level of vehicles is 72 dB maximum, however with a higher tolerance for more powerful vehicles.
The Highway Code already stipulates that motor vehicles must "not emit noises likely to cause discomfort to road users, or to residents", under penalty of a fine of 68 euros (without sonometric measurement) or 135 euros (after a check).
If this device is a first in France, it is already being tested in several cities, such as Paris, Nice, Toulouse, Bron, Rueil-Malmaison, Villeneuve-le-Roi and Saint-Forget.
