Kirkland, WA Street Racing Noise Pilot tests automated data collection of vehicle noise levels
Kirkland, WA Street Racing Noise Pilot Automated Collection
The six-month program focuses on two locations with frequent excessive noise incidents. Microphones activate a camera once noise levels exceed the 78-decibel maximum established by state law. Cameras capture footage of offending vehicles for further investigation and citations. The technology will not result in tickets during the data collection trial. Kirkland and the Washington Traffic Safety Commission will evaluate data from the pilot for use across the state.
