Q2-4 Consultation on traffic environment
Last update date April 11, 2024
(1) The noise on the road near my home is so bad.
(2) Vibration is terrible every time a large car passes on the road in front of my home.
(3) I am having trouble with car exhaust gas from the parking lot.
(4) It's noisy because the plane is flying in the low sky. Also, I'm worried about crashes.
Regarding vehicle noise caused by driving of cars, etc., if the noise regulation law recognizes that the living environment around the road has been significantly impaired due to the noise exceeding the limit (request limit) specified by the Ordinance of the Ministry of the Environment, It is stipulated that requests the road manager and the prefectural public safety committee.
However, since the road manager (Public Works Office in each ward, toll road operators, etc.) determine the necessity of noise countermeasures, etc., if you have any problems with vehicle noise, consult the road manager first. If it is necessary to measure whether or not the required limit has been exceeded after confirming the site with the road manager, please contact the Green Environment Bureau Atmosphere and Sound Environment Division.
