Road surfaces (maximum noise levels)

MP proposes a new law (usually symbolic)

Melanie Onn is tabling a Ten Minute Rule Motion to propose maximum noise level standards for road surfaces. This motion seeks to establish regulations that would reduce traffic noise pollution caused by different types of road surfacing materials, addressing a public health and environmental quality concern.

Road noise is a significant public health issue affecting quality of life in residential areas near busy roads, particularly in urban and suburban regions. Setting maximum noise levels for road surfaces could drive infrastructure improvements across local authorities and reduce noise-related health impacts for millions of residents, though implementation costs and technical feasibility would need careful consideration.
