FUTURE TRENDS IN NOISE LEGISLATION FOR ROAD VEHICLES
The noise of road vehicles has received the attention of legislators in the UK and elsewhere for many years. Construction limits were introduced in the UK in 1970, and in the same year the European community also introduced a directive controlling the noise of cars, lorries and buses. The directive has been amended on a number of occasions since then. Proposals of the European commission for further reductions in the limits for most vehicles are now before the council. This paper gives the background to noise legislation and the latest proposals of the commission. For the covering abstract of the conference see TRIS 451834. (TRRL)
