Traffic noise

In a bid to address the escalating issue of noise pollution in the metropolitan city of Istanbul, where vehicle density is increasing day by day, a "quiet asphalt" project is set to be implemented in certain areas to mitigate the noise level on the roads by 10 decibels.

If they measure the illicit level of noise on the spot, they will be entitled to close the facility immediately, the Minister of Environmental Protection added on the news to the amendments to the Noise Control Act which is under preparation.
