The Federal Council declares war on car posers: Unnecessary noise from exhaust systems is now to be expressly prohibited. The federal government wants to include these noise emissions in the list of "noises to be avoided".
The Federal Council has updated the regulations on avoidable noise pollution accordingly, as announced on Wednesday. The amendment is part of the implementation of a motion from the National Council.
He also wants to tighten the existing sanctions and increase the fine "for leaving the engine running unnecessarily" from 60 to 80 francs. The introduction of so-called noise speed cameras, on the other hand, will be postponed. Although a pilot project in Geneva has been successful, the creation of the legal basis is "associated with challenges", it says.
