Cities Aren't Loud: Cars Are Loud

Caption notes

Not Just Bikes uses Delft in the Netherlands to discuss how cities can reduce traffic noise. He describes limiting through traffic in the city center and distinguishes propulsion noise from the rolling noise created where tires meet the road. That distinction explains why he discusses lower speeds and quieter paving, and why he expects rolling noise to persist with electric vehicles. The street readings are the creator’s observations. This guide focuses on his spoken account. The readings, health statistics and regulations were not independently verified.
