    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.

        Yeah I read the article. I just think it’s a funny name for it.

      But what if you’re an asshole and you really want everyone to know that?

      Saskatchewan introduced excessive noise legislation recently too. I believe the noise limits are still quite high though, and I haven’t seen much of a push for enforcement.

      Those Red Deer ones are manually used though. It’s good, but noise cameras can be automatic like speed cameras.

        And they should be, if proven as reliable as automated speed cameras. These things are cash cows for cities!

        Sometimes you need a car. Sometimes you can’t afford non essential repairs right away. Sometimes those repairs might include the fan belt slipping as you go round a corner and making that god awful screeching sound.

        You can get a car without being able to afford it, it’s called living in debt.
