Objective: car to slow down
Legnano – Many Italian cities are not famous for the silence of the streets. Also there “City of the Palio” is crossed by some streets that are particularly busy (Click here to read the article). In these sections, the speed of the vehicles has a significant impact on the noise. Practically in the center, in via Rattithe noise recorded with “OpenNoise Meter” (application developed by Harp Piedmont) reached a maximum of 49 LAeq
The LAeq
The increase in noise is related to speed with which cars travel along via Ratti. The more the driver presses on the accelerator – despite the distance being short and equipped with road signs (vertical and horizontal) with speed limit of 30 km/h and a bump near the pedestrian crossing, near the “Edmondo De Amicis” primary school – the more the detected noise increases. Entering the agency “Rebolini Funeral Home“, you can perceive the vibrations of passing vehicles. Also a patch of asphalt and the weight of the vehicle appear to affect the vibrations that impact the building. In fact, via Ratti is not only crossed by cars but also by heavy vehiclessuch as buses and vans.
