(haipo) – A focused fight against the noise nuisance that has plagued Haifa in recent years is underway: The Ministry of Environmental Protection will allocate 750 shekels to the city of Haifa as part of the “Quiet Cities” project, for the purpose of installing noise detectors and advanced enforcement systems against noisy vehicles.
The move is intended to deal with one of the city's most prominent environmental hazards: continuous noise from vehicles, motorcycles, and "improved" vehicles, which harms the quality of life, health, and daily routine of many residents, especially in the coastal neighborhoods, the lower city, and the German Colony.
“A disaster for the quality of life in the city”
Yaniv Ben-Shoshan, Likud Chairman in Haifa, addressed the move and said: “The nuisance of noise from vehicles that has plagued Haifa in recent years is a disaster for residents. It harms the quality of life, especially for residents of coastal neighborhoods and those who spend time at entertainment centers in the lower city and the German Colony. The municipality has allocated resources to address the issue, but the tools and budget are not sufficient to eradicate the phenomenon, but only for specific treatment. That is why I have contacted the Minister of Environmental Protection, Idit Silman, to assist in channeling designated resources to the city.”
Ben-Shoshan added that he thanks Sarah Silman for her responsiveness: “As always, the minister was attentive to the request and found a unique solution tailored to Haifa, which will allow peace to be restored to the residents.”
Smart and focused enforcement
As part of the project, innovative enforcement systems will be installed throughout Haifa, including cameras and noise detectors, which will enable the identification and targeted treatment of vehicles that cause serious noise pollution, especially in the evening and at night. The systems will be operated in accordance with professional guidelines and while ensuring the privacy of residents.
The support provided by the Ministry of Environmental Protection covers up to 70% of the cost of purchasing and installing the systems, as part of a national policy to reduce noise pollution in public spaces.
Minister of Environmental Protection: “This is what environmental action that is felt on the ground looks like”
Minister of Environmental Protection, Idit Silman, said: “Noise from vehicles is a hazard that harms the health and quality of life of residents. The response to it must be professional, precise and determined. The Ministry of Environmental Protection provides authorities with advanced tools for effective enforcement, which allows for reducing the phenomenon and restoring peace to the public space. This is what environmental action that is felt on the ground looks like.”
Professional support and continuous improvement
The Ministry of Environmental Protection will continue to support the Haifa Municipality in implementing the plan and monitoring enforcement activities, with the aim of bringing about a real and lasting improvement in the quality of life in the city. The municipality and the ministry emphasize that this is a long-term process, the goal of which is not just spot-on enforcement, but creating real change in the urban space and restoring peace to Haifa residents.
The Ministry of Environmental Quality is not the address.
This is about a PFA for all intents and purposes, within the purview of another minister.
Congratulations on the first significant step towards eliminating the noise hazard from cars. It should be clarified that some of the noise is created by criminals who pose a risk to human life as part of riots on the roads. The cameras and other accessories will help deal with the hazard in general, and criminals in particular. To eliminate criminal terrorism from the roads. Good luck.
The cameras will help "like crazy."
The Arabs will simply cover the licensing fees.
By the time our forces arrive, the attackers will be in another neighborhood, in another city, or on their way back to their villages.
And what about the air pollution from wood-burning stoves? Because of one or two families, entire neighborhoods suffer, snoring and wheezing!
heating.
Not the deal.
Check the dictionary for words you are using for the first time.
A populist move that will not bring any results to the benefit of the residents.
So what? Do a pilot on one of the busy roads in Haifa: Sderot Haginim/Allenby, do bumpers like on Stella Maris Road, and see that the quiet will return without the noise and ringing of politicians. Good luck.
Interesting, interesting. Treating the symptom, instead of the problem. Interesting.
It's probably easier to issue fines for noisy vehicles (and it pays off a lot), than to carry out raids and arrests of reckless drivers, for example. Or try to locate improved vehicles, for example, at the entrance to the city.
This is of course much more efficient and cheaper than giving people who want to enjoy their cars a dedicated sports driving track that could become a tourist attraction in itself, bringing both tourism and money to the city. But who thinks that far ahead, the penny pincher winks and wants to be a spectacle.
Go [censored], I'm already fed up with the total stupidity surrounding me and the "inventing a problem in order to come up with solutions that will only treat the symptom" and the nerves of the incessant milking of car owners.
It is clear to any reasonable person that the next step will be to produce reports on sirens, of course without the possibility of appeal, so that even in cases where the siren is justified, a report will be issued.
The only nuisance in the country is the corrupt lick and the government of destruction led by the senile swindler
You and your ilk who call for ethnic cleansing against Jews in Judea and Tamerlane, the homeland of the Jewish people, are sick-headed racists and the only poisonous and destructive machine that needs to be eradicated here.
Mentally ill.
Repeats itself 2401 times a day on various sites.
For someone who goes to bed at 10, the noise is very significant.
With a failed Sarah, a careless and amateur police force, and with occasional spot-on operations, this is a drop in the ocean that won't improve the situation.
The failed Minister of Transportation was Merav Michaeli, who was busy changing the ministry's advertisements to purple because that was the color of her primary campaign at work, her memory is not good. Shut up, you've had enough. The country is progressing, and you are the thorn and the crook, the violent, racist, exhausting left that blocks intersections and defames our name in the world, which hinders the blooming garden and the booming economy.
The problem existed even when the Abbas-Bennett-Lapid government was in power.
The criminals who make noise with their motorcycles and upgraded cars hide the license plates, on motorcycles they fold the number and on cars they put a rag over the number. The main thing is that they charge an additional fee for security and nothing has changed. On the Louis Promenade and President Boulevard and Biffa Nof they are still rioting, making noise and driving wildly. And what about enforcement? In dreams. Give us back our money quickly.
There is a more serious nuisance than begging groups that make worlds abuzz.
As an example—a full orchestra in front of the Lin Health Fund every Friday for many months, and each time, for a few hours.
Creating methods for receiving funds that we will ultimately pay for and because of.
Coming soon articles about noise reports for poor people whose air conditioners are making noise because they don't have the money to pay a technician.
No report will be given to a noisy factory such as, for example, a printing house in Yosef Meklef, Haifa.
This is nonsense as someone who suffered for months from a neighbor's air conditioner that made my life miserable and not only that.
Only an aggressive letter with a threat of lawsuit helped.
Those who can't sleep at all are bothered by an air conditioner that can sometimes be fixed with a small investment, and don't care about the financial situation of its owner.
Where were you for 3 years, a corrupt traitor?
I wondered, is this a response from an Iranian bot, a mentally ill person, a paid commenter, or all of the above?
It seems to me that what is really disturbing in Haifa is the cousins' muezzin... more than a car.
This is how it is, when greedy Jews sell their apartments to Arabs with a "bag of money" courtesy of the Ishmael Foundation.
The percentage of Jews who remained in Haifa "scratches" the tenth.
