"A jacked-up motorcycle in the middle of the night can easily wake up 10,000 people."

More cities in #France install "Méduse" anti-noise radars, which have 4 microphones, and a camera to automatically ticket vehicles that exceed a certain number of decibels

​Un premier radar de type MĂ©duse entre en service sur le boulevard de mer Ă  titre d’expĂ©rimentation. D’autres seront installĂ©s en 2023 et ils verbaliseront les vĂ©hicules aux sonoritĂ©s hors normes.

@straphanger @spride that's one step closer to my ultimate goal: a device that automatically fires a terawatt laser at any car or motorcycle exceeding 85 dB.

@memory @straphanger

I’d actually like to see a momentum limit enforced over a speed limit. A bike doing 30 mph (don’t laugh, I’ve achieved that) is much less dangerous than a semi doing the same speed on the same road).

@spride @straphanger 85 decibels, not mph/kph :) But your idea is nonetheless intriguing!
