In one night 115 vehicles were taken off the road and 132 reports were issued • Enforcement activity is expanding

The Israel Police, the Ministry of National Security and the Ministry of Environmental Protection gave the following to the News Corporation:
Continue to act against motor vehicle noise hazards: On Thursday, the Israel Police and the Ministry of Environmental Protection conducted an extensive enforcement activity in Wadi Ara on Route 2 and Route 4, with an emphasis on motor vehicles that cause loud noise and panic among the public; 115 vehicles were taken off the road.

Continue to act against motor vehicle noise hazards ► Watch

Many reports of alarming noise

Since the beginning of the war, the 100 hotline of the Israel Police has received hundreds of complaints and reports regarding a noise that sounds like an alarm or the sound of gunshots emanating from vehicles and this is due to an illegal mechanical change that the owners of the vehicles make to the exhaust. Most of the reports focus on motorcycles whose exhaust systems have been modified so that the noise they produce is similar to the sounds of gunfire, explosives and even alarms. These noise hazards create panic among the public, especially in these complex days.

Focused enforcement activity against the phenomenon

The Commander of the Coast District, Superintendent Danny Levy and the Head of the Traffic Division, Superintendent Yehuda Ben Atar ordered to focus the enforcement against this phenomenon, together with the Ministry of Environmental Protection.

In the meantime, as part of the fight against the phenomenon of vehicles that cause noise hazards that harm the quality of life of the residents as well as the scourge of road accidents, on Thursday 16.11.23/XNUMX/XNUMX the Ministry of Environmental Protection in cooperation with the National Traffic Police (North) of the Traffic Division, the Environmental Protection Section of the Operations Division, conducted an Menashe, Emkim, Alona police officer, environmental protection section officers and environmental protection volunteers, targeted enforcement activity against drivers who violate the law prohibiting making loud noise from a motor vehicle.

According to the World Health Organization, exposure to noise causes damage to the physical and mental health of those exposed. The Minister of Environmental Protection, Idit Silman, was also present at the enforcement activity on the ground.

132 reports and 115 vehicles were taken off the road

As part of the activity, dozens of police officers acted and during the operation hundreds of vehicles were checked and 132 reports were recorded. 115 vehicles were taken off the road due to serious safety defects, and 44 environmental protection reports were registered for loud noise from vehicles and motorcycles, 2 vehicles were disabled and towed.

The Israel Police and the Ministry of Environmental Protection will continue to cooperate in carrying out targeted enforcement actions against those who cause noise hazards, both routinely and during emergencies.

The Minister of Environmental Protection, Idit Silman, who was present at the enforcement activity:

Even during fighting and precisely these days, every noise stresses us and sounds like gunshots, explosions or alarms, we continue to work to protect the environment and the quality of life of the public and carry out targeted enforcement activities against noisy vehicles that harm our quality of life. We and the Israel Police receive many inquiries about vehicles and motorcycles that have undergone changes in their exhaust systems and cause a stressful noise. We at the Ministry of Environmental Protection will continue to work in full cooperation with the Israel Police and will exercise our powers in the field of enforcement in order to eradicate these phenomena for the sake of the public and the environment.

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir stated:

I welcome the activity of the Coastal District and the traffic division of the Israel Police in the determined fight against lawbreakers who disturb the public, this is another activity in restoring control, especially in the traffic routes.

  1. All the best and "good morning" to the Israel Police and enforcement agencies. Now you only have 14,885 left to catch and take off the road ….. improved vehicles and you will begin to feel an improvement in the despicable phenomenon……

  2. It is 2 o'clock in the morning in Moria and there is an incessant noise of rumbling motorcycles
    What improvement are you talking about?
    Why are there no arrests of noisy motorcycles in Carmel?

  3. Recently they woke up and began to act "for educational actions" for those who acted rudely against us, both on campuses, on the roads, both in the internet media and in the Knesset.

    Well done and it's a shame that we started so late and only after a national disaster..

  4. Thanks to everyone involved in the task.
    Since they started to take it seriously, there has been a marked improvement in the streets of Haifa.
    Residents of Haifa - do not stop calling the police and the municipal hotline, on this issue of noise nuisance.

  5. Well done, also check electric bicycle riders who travel in groups and at an irresponsible speed on the Kiryat Eliezer Promenade, in my opinion they are not from the neighborhood at all, they came from another area, endangering elderly pedestrians and small children

  6. Kudos to Minister Ben Gabir!
    The residents of Haifa thank you very much!

  7. In 444 nothing changed. The dirt trucks are honking even at four in the morning. And the mufflers without the exhausts make explosions. The motorcycles are noisy
    And you poor cowards. You don't want to wake up the sector, so you sacrifice the suckers.

  8. They finally started working.!As they should.!And for those who don't see it...and for those who don't understand...the police started speaking in Arabic.!God willing.!

  9. I suggest putting cameras in Wolfson square and Keller square, which will photograph the means of transport from/to Kabir even at night. Both cars and motorcycles. .it's been months. I was with friends in Moria, and there the bugs sound good too, and they told me it was a long time ago, and they don't do anything.

  10. And in Kiryat on the way to Acre there are too many motorcycles and cars
    Loud noises, I contacted the police, and unfortunately there is no reference at all!!!

  11. Good luck 🏆 strong and courageous 🫡🇮🇱
    Kudos to the Israel Police and the security forces...
    Please continue to fight with the general population on the subject of the unnecessary exhausts/noises/gaskets that do everything to scare and discourage the general population of citizens!!!!! and disturb their rest even in these difficult times.
    It doesn't matter at all from which sector. Race. religion nation. It's not interesting at all! It includes everyone including everyone. Both in the city and in the village and throughout the country. I want to put an end to this and that way we will be quieter and calmer to each other both during times of war and during times of calm in the country. If you can call it calm!
    Thank you and continue to do such sacred work for the country and each other.
    Good luck and take care of yourselves security forces 🫡🇮🇱🏆🔝‼️🤐 salutes you all.
    Good news and a good week and may we get through everything together well and quickly 🔝🏆🇮🇱‼️ Debori Sh.

  12. Is this newspaper a mouthpiece of this criminal government? You didn't find other people to quote or photograph?.? The criminal minister for national insecurity and the minister who accepted us to overthrow the only sane government that has been here in the last 15 years, and is guilty, along with all the other ministers of the horribly inflated government, in everything that happened on October 7.10.2023, XNUMX?
    And what is this racism in almost all the comments? I ask that you remove me from your mailing list. disgrace.

  13. After what happened in the fence surrounding Gaza more and more, I believe that this game of the "youths" is a preparation for something much bigger when those motorcycle and car owners will take out the weapons that are walking around the sector and start shooting. In Haifa we saw on Yom Kippur a model of the apostles.

  14. I have a heart disease, I can't stand this noise. Thanks to the Israel Police. Huge thanks to you

  15. Who lives on highway 4 or 2? Of course, the propagandistic caricature sucks and the idea behind it is that those noises simply disrupt the microphones installed on the street and road lights. After years of honking without disturbing in urban areas, suddenly "it is forbidden to honk it is disturbing", suddenly it did not exist then, because then there were no smart flashlights and therefore there was no need for propaganda. Why microphones on flashlights? To listen to you on the day you will be closed in the urban ghettos, have you seen the series "The Fence" yet?

  16. Finally the police and the state realized that this was a form of terrorism against the Jewish population.

  17. No complaints Mia. Good night and blessed.

  18. 115 vehicles and that's just one night
    This is a coup in the whole north
    We must start closing down garages that carry out modifications contrary to the license and file charges with heavy fines and confiscation of modified vehicles.
    Forfeiture for at least 3 years.
    This thing must be burned

  19. It's a shame you don't come to Route 67 near Paradis on Friday, you would have seen what was going on and how much noise

  20. The Haifa people are complaining about something in this activity, in 3...2...1...
