Amsterdam has started the fight against noisy motorcycles and cars. On Friday, the city placed electric road signs in two places to warn road users if their vehicles are too loud. The warnings will eventually be replaced by “noise cameras,” which, like speed cameras, automatically send a fine to the offending driver, Parool reports.

    noise cameras

    We call those “microphones” where I’m from :-P

    This sounds like a good idea. I wish we had something like that where I live. I shouldn’t be able to be woken up in the middle of the night by a vehicle half a mile away. There’s no good reason for a vehicle to make that level of noise.
