"Madam President, I was very happy to support this report, particularly as I recognise that the increase in noise pollution that we are all suffering – particularly those who live in urban areas or near busy roads – is a genuine scourge and a real danger to health. So I am delighted that we are taking action to reduce vehicle noise, but we must recognise that this is only one small part of the issue of vehicle noise.
We also have issues with tyres, with road surface levels and with many of the parts of the road changes that are supposed to be for road safety, but actually mean that cars have to slow down and speed up. We need to look at all of those issues concerning vehicle noise in the round.
I would particularly like to welcome the introduction of the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting system (AVAS) that we voted for. It is a vehicle- and noise-alert system for people who are visually impaired, for children and for cyclists. It is very important for these groups to be able to use their sense of hearing to find out what else is on the road with them. So I think we can go forward with this report and develop something meaningful."@en1
