In one of the UAE emirates, radars were installed to identify owners of vehicles that are too noisy.
Sharjah Emirate Police, UAE, have installed a radar capable of detecting a source of too loud noise on the roads. The device will allow authorities to identify cars and trucks in need of service.
A high-tech system uses sound level meters and video recording to detect vehicles that violate the rules of the emirate, and transmits information to a central control center. Employees decide whether to take any further action.
Lieutenant Colonel Muhammad Allay Al Nakbi, director of the Sharjah department of traffic, said that more such radars would be installed in the emirate in the coming months.
Motorists whose vehicles exceed permissible noise limits are currently facing a fine of AED 2,000 ($ US 544).
