Experimentation, launched Monday, February 14 in the capital, should make it possible to identify the loudest motorized vehicles that undermine the lives of Parisians, and to put their drivers with the fine.

From the outside, one could believe with two big birds with birds, suspended one below the other, 4.5 meters from the ground. In reality, the two gray boxes hanging on a floor lamp of the street of Avron, in the 20 e district of Paris, do not serve to feed the sparrows or the blacks so that they sing more, But to spot the noisiest vehicles … and to silence them. Inaugurated Monday, February 14, this sound radar is the first of its kind installed in the capital, for experimental. A second must be on Tuesday, Cardinet Street (17 e ).
In both cases, the same objective: identify cars, trucks, but especially the bikes and scooters so noisy that they undermine the lives of Parisians, and put their drivers to the fine automatically. The principle is exactly the same as for speed radar. “If you do nonsense, it flashes you”, summarizes a passerby, Rue d’Avron, showing to his five-year-old son the gray boxes between which cameras.
“With confines, everyone has become more accustomed to a quiecent city, explains David Belliard, the ecologist assistant for transport. Today, there is a very strong expectation of the Parisians so that we were fighting Against noise, especially the one caused by motorcycles and scooters. In Paris, a unbridled motorcycle can awaken 10,000 people! “Stress, sleep disorders, increased cardiovascular problems … The consequences of this noise have nothing negligible. “This can withdraw up to eight months of life expectancy, according to Dan Lert, the Ecological Transition Assistant.
Right and left combined, the Paris elected officials therefore validated unanimously, Wednesday 9 February, the experimentation of sound radars. With Nice, Toulouse, Bron (Metropolis of Lyon), Rueil-Malmaison (Hauts-de-Seine), Villeneuve-le-Roi (Val-de-Marne) and the community of communes of the Chevreuse Valley (Yvelines), Paris is one of the first communities to enjoy the Law of Guidance for Mobilities voted in December 2019 and Decree of January 3, 2022 which allow this type of devices.
A substantial cost
The experience will take place in two stages. For three months, the two Parisian radars will operate “in white”, without fine. It is a question of verifying that the system associating rue d’avron eight microphones and three cameras measures the noise accurately, connecting it without error to the vehicle which is originally, and photograph the license plate. “We started tests in the valley of Chevreuse, on the” Route des 17 turn “, of which some bikers love, and it works, welcomes Fanny Mietlicki, the director of noiseparif, one of the three industrialists in the race, with Microdb and ACOEM. On the spot, we measured peaks at 110 decibels, while the limit for a truck is rather 85 decibels. “
