boxES lEFT BLANK = NOT APPLICABLE NOISE REDU CTION ON THE BYPASS COULD BE ACHIEVED BY USING CORRUGATED SHEETS OF METAL/PLASTIC ETC TO THE EXISTING IRONWORK(PREVENTING VEHICLES FORM CRASHING OFF)1-2 METRES HIGH WOULD SERIOUSLY CUT DOWN NOISE

tagged with: bypass noise

traffic, parking outside Church House dangerous - double yellow lines would help -people should make more use of the nearby car park, smaller buses such as hoppers would be more practical, safer and less polluting than current type, which cause obstruction particularly when stationary. living close to the bypass: noise from bypass is obrusive when motor bikers do their 100+mph runs and know how to avoid speed cameras - only police presence can discourage this motor sport actities for youngsters should be encouraged (motorsport enthusiast for 30 years) but not close to the village, difficult to supervise and make safe also noisy and hard to make riders run silencers on bikes that do not need to conform to RTA Construction and uses regs. How would riders get to the track? 'Trials riders' already use the village footpath network to ride untaxed unregistered and uninsured to the woods - dedicated area would only encourage juniors to do the same to get to and from home. speed: fit a speed governor to the little red car that delivers from the local pizza shop - fastest thing in the village! thanks to those who do so much to improve life within the village

I think excessive noise created by vehicles on the bypass is caused by a) excessive speed, b) oversized / modified exhausts. this could be reduced by a) speed cameras, especially on the straights, b) police clampdown / checks on noisy vehicles. the car / motorcycle noise from the bypass is a majot annoyance. further noise pollution is caused by a) light aircraft circling, b) helicopter traffic. these two sources of noise are far more annoying than large aircraft taking off. I am a cyclist. a traffic free through route to the ex-rail bridge behind Megabowl would encourage cycling into central Bristol. the section of cycle lane from Birdwell to the new school is excellent. re 7.04, there is no point in having more double lines - they are not enforced. cars regularly park on the zig-zag lines of the zebra crossing, on the pavement, etc, etc
