"Legal" is an arbitrary metric likely formulated in concert with the car/bike manufacturers via corrup... excuse me, via lobbying, so you should really know better than to use that term as a shield.
Do you not agree that noise pollution is a real problem that has grown to unacceptable levels?
Expect even more civil disobedience -- I've observed the same as you in my city, people started doing it on purpose to sabotage cars and bikes taking way too much space on iconic scenic streets.
- vladvasiliu 3y agoI do agree. It's one of the reasons why I've sold that bike several years ago. But I very much doubt this was done on purpose. This was not an "iconic" street by any means, just a random street of no particular interest, with close to no traffic, pedestrian or vehicle. Such "iconic" streets do exist, and they usually have specific road rules where people are allowed to walk in the middle of street and cars are expected to avoid them (the streets) as much as possible. This was no such street. Plus, they were already walking down the middle of the road much before I was close to them. I've also seen other people do the same even with no vehicle in sight, in this or other similar streets. This is also a problem for bicycles, which also have to ride in the street and aren't exactly a source of annoying noise.
