Fewer cars, less noise.
I am frequently annoyed by the sounds of cars and trucks that disrupt my daily walks.
It’s glaringly disruptive to any conversation when horns and mufflers putput past me.
Congestion pricing taxes drivers coming to midtown by car. The goal is to use the fees to support public transportation. It also cuts down on the traffic and the noise it brings.
Big Brother was once just scary science fiction. Now he’s monitoring the speed at which you took that corner.
Intruding your sounds on others is denying their right to quiet. If people were respectful of others, we would not need all the bylaws and equipment to keep people “in line.”

Yes. It is a public safety issue. As is the new noise camera. This one is meant to deter excessive noise pollution on our city streets.
Very noble goals that erode our privacy. You might say that those who don’t keep their speed to a limit or avoid disturbing their neighbors need to be kept in check for the common good.
You would be right, but right doesn’t mean we aren’t trodding on another’s rights.
It’s a thorny debate.
