Q2-4 Consultation on traffic environment
Last Updated April 11, 2024
(1) The noise of the road close to my home is terrible.
(2) The vibration is severe every time a large car passes through the road in front of the house.
(3) I'm in trouble with the exhaust gas from the parking lot.
(4) It's noisy because the plane is flying in low sky. I'm also worried about the crash.
Regarding car noise caused by driving of cars, etc., when it is recognized 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 under the Noise Control Law, The mayor is stipulated to make requests to road managers and the Prefectural Public Safety Commission.
However, since the necessity of noise control is determined by the road manager (Public Works Office in each ward, toll road operators, etc.), if you have any problems with car noise, consult with the road manager first and then measure whether or not the requested limit is exceeded, please contact the Green Environment Bureau Atmosphere and Sound Environment Division.
