Why Ring Road noise counting?

A new way to reason with those who love to ride began to be applied in Russia. Kemerovo administration has decided to install one of the city's avenues noise markup. These noise elements, according to city authorities, need to get drivers to observe the established speed limits. According to the plans of Moscow authorities, the noise band installed on the Moscow ring road. Noise markup represents "a few tiny" bumps ": when a car passes by a special coating markup, strong vibration and a specific sound forced the driver to slow down" - this is about innovation says the official report of the Kemerovo administration. Kemerovo experiment it was decided to adopt and to the Ancient. According to the plans of Moscow authorities, the noise band will install on the Moscow ring road, already this year. Head of the Department of Housing and Public Works of Moscow Andrey Tsybin reported that the markings will be marked on the right and the left lane Moscow ring road, which conforms to European safety standards. It is worth noting that last year in the capital have already experimented with noise bands. This layout was placed in SZAO in Timiryazev area that the local staff is the most alert in the district. However, as written, "Izvestia, the experiment was highly successful. Local residents insisted that the noise marking dismantled. The reason for discontent was the behavior of drivers who have not paid attention to the established barriers. Most of them did not want to go more slowly, crossing the counting noise. A journey through it at high speed followed by the noise, which is quite bother local residents. Moreover, this added noise and the sharp sounds of the signals of those who resented the behavior of car owners, dropping speed on noise markup. The ultimate Timiryazevsky district is a means of fighting for a moderate ride was removed. This situation the experts explained that the noise marking is effective mainly in the suburban roads and motorways. "The city should adopt other measures" - such an opinion expressed by the head of road safety company "ZM Russia" Boris Nekrasov. Everyone knows that driving on country roads can overwhelm the driver. Monotonically moving along the highway, the car owner can not just "think about their", but that is more dangerous, even doze off. In this case, the vibration noise markings lead motorist "in themselves." He focuses on the road and slightly reduces the speed, without making other motorists. The positive features of the noise bands experts in the field of road rank as well as other properties, namely the ability to maintain visibility. "During the rain, visibility is preserved during both day and night - just a drop fall from the markup, and the usual separation of the band during rain or snow, almost invisible," - said Michael Rybalin, head of the department of engineering construction Tver Road Institute. However, the effectiveness of noise marking specifically to MKAD raises some doubts. Muscovites well imagine that such a "ring" in the rush hour. Movement here is very dense. Often there are traffic jams and road congestion, frequent accidents. In the very same "friendly" hours of traffic flows on the Ring Road is moving very rapidly. Many drivers do not comply with the safety distance vperediiduschego car. Effect of noise markup is designed for a certain surprise effect. The calculation is as follows: feeling strong vibration on the steering wheel and specific sound of the tires car, the driver must "give a start and slow down. However, Ring Road, however, like any other street of the capital of high traffic load - a stream, whose members - Motorists varying degrees of training. Each of them has its own temperament, his "hand" driving. It is not excluded that, for many a surprise effect can play a cruel joke. Noise counting its vibrations and specific noise capable of so much "cheer" motorist that he was instead a bit to slow down, will dramatically slow down. It is terrible to imagine that in this case happens on the road. Nevertheless Tsybin Andrew said: "The traffic police of Moscow fully supports the application of such markings on the Beltway." Another is that "effects" of noise marking can, in principle, affect the work of the technical units of automobiles. And, in fact, this impact is not positive: the vibrations that go on driving a car, can cause damage to the steering rack. In addition, drivers worried about the state of vehicle suspension, and the majority of motorists, in fact, have to slow down while driving noise markup. Important also that the noise bars - very expensive "pleasure" even for the capital. Taking into account the length of the Moscow Ring Road (108,9 km), the installation of such a functional road safety be costly. In addition, the noise counting requires timely maintenance. In Russia, half a year - it's winter, when most car owners to install on their cars studded "tires." It can cause quite considerable damage to a markup. And on the Moscow Ring Road, where traffic flow is different intensity, as well as the "promiscuity" (members of the movement here, and passenger cars, buses, trucks and vehicle), so wear easily happen in one winter. It turns out that the cost to install that obstacles will have to add costs for its timely replacement. In this regard, the question arises: may be wiser to spend all this money for timely road repairs? After all, the poor state of road surface - one of the main factors that increases the rate of accidents. Maybe it would be reasonable to equip the multiband road dividing fences, to arrange additional land crossings. These items will also make its contribution to road safety. It seems that with the noise marking in the capital was formed the same situation as with other innovations. While such noise bands will allocate funds, the official statistics will be reported that the number of accidents is reduced, and it is due to the presence of these markings.
