A lot of it is bad urban design.
Traffic calming measures to keep cars slow such as narrow steets and roundabouts can do a lot.
It shouldn't be physically possible to travel at highspeed through residential areas.
- 2-718-281-828 4y agothe noise is mostly from cars driving intentionally slow in a very low gear or doing pointless short distance accelerations in low gear.
- zip1234 4y agoJust a normal car makes an immense amount of noise. Especially at speed--tire noise.
- gxs 4y agoThis is not correct. No amount of “traffic” control is going to prevent assholes from revving it in neutral. These people are just bad actors that need to be cited.
- pjerem 4y agoIt's not about traffic control, it's about making speed physically impossible. ie with this: https://cdn-s-www.ledauphine.com/images/270CD3E9-B76E-4D41-9B74-A34D1F56293C/NW_detail/title-1578421435.jpg https://cdn-s-www.ledauphine.com/images/270CD3E9-B76E-4D41-9... or that: https://www.selfsignal.fr/app/uploads//2021/03/Coussin-Berlinois-Schema-dimplantation.jpg https://www.selfsignal.fr/app/uploads//2021/03/Coussin-Berli...
- CapricornNoble 4y agoThat first one is just a "slalom", an opportunity to test your car's aftermarket suspension (because OF COURSE you have coilovers and sway bars). The second one is an opportunity to test your 60-0-60 brake distances (monoblock caliper upgrade) and acceleration (tire grip from crazy-sticky Michelin Pilot Sport Cups). Never underestimate the willingness of gearheads to overcome challenges. If people want to drive fast, they will.
