Göppingen is fighting motorcycle noise: take measures on Hohenstaufen!
The authorities in the Göppingen district have taken measures to reduce the noise pollution from motorcyclists on Hohenstaufen. In particular, complaints about a Poser scene in the surrounding places led to a determined approach. Already in May, the police checked motorcyclists on the Aasrücken to get the situation under control. In order to further reduce the noise, the parking bays on the back of the Aas have been closed for more than four weeks. With this measure, the city of Göppingen expects a noticeable reduction in the noise of Posern and motorcycles, which is a relief for the residents, such as the [Stuttgart News] (https://www.stuttgarter-nachrichten.de/inhalt.kreis-goeppingen-behoermen-behen- against-Motorradlaerm-Hohenstaufen-vor.2B267e0e-35c8-930f-1E48d5cb7ca.html) reported.
The problem of the motorcycle as a noise producer is not only limited to the Göppingen region. A nationwide initiative in which 30 Baden-Württemberg municipalities are involved is against motorcycle noise. Göppingen is participating in this initiative, which was launched due to the considerable noise problems in the districts of Hohenstaufen, Maitis and Lenglingen. Here, a meeting between the state government's noise protection officer and municipal representatives in Stuttgart was of central importance in order to address the topic more in public, such as the [Filstallexpress] (https://filsta lexpress.de/lokalnachrichten/96143/landesweit-initiative- against-Motorradlaerm-goepingen-macht-mit/).
political course for motorcycle noise
The aim of the initiative is to develop a common catalog of claims, which is to be developed with the support of the Ministry of Transport by spring 2020. This quality catalog includes measures to contain the motorcycle sound and focus on the following points:
- quieter motorcycles by manufacturers
- amendment of the approval and approval regulations
- more drastic punishments for manipulation
- New procedures for measurements and approvals
- noise measurements to support police control
- Definition of noise limit values
- Introduction of front mark for motorcycles
- General holder liability
Thomas Marwein, the noise protection officer, emphasizes the urgency, systematically against motorcycle noise. At the same time, Mayor Sonja Schuchter emphasizes that numerous noise complaints from residents are received, especially on sunny weekends. Motorbike noise is a common problem in particularly attractive and winding routes in Baden-Württemberg, such as the Swabian Alb or the Black Forest
limits and challenges
The options for fighting motorcycle noise are currently limited for the municipalities and the country because there are many responsibilities at the federal and European level. The design of the motorcycles already leads to a high noise level, which is reinforced by legal conversions and illegal manipulations. This makes a thorough change in reducing noise and forces those responsible to develop new approaches to reducing noise.
Overall, it can be seen that the problem of motorcycle noise has both local and national dimensions. Due to the cooperation of the municipalities and the country, a decisive step in the right direction could be taken to significantly reduce the noise pollution in the region.
