Amsterdam, NH and Rotterdam inform motorists of excessive noise with sensor and signage pilot

Amsterdam, NH Rotterdam Excessive Noise Sensor Signage Pilot

Amsterdam's public health team determined one-fifth of city residents experienced excessive noise from motorcycles and cars. Noise detection sensors were placed at locations throughout both cities for the summer pilot. Vehicle noise exceeding the sensor's tolerance triggers a digital sign saying "Too Loud." Local officials will not issue tickets during the trial, instead using sensor data in determining the effectiveness of raised awareness on noise levels.
