I am the concrete slab #M25#Motorway section between Junctions 8 and 11. I create excessive noise for Residents and Road Users. Resurface me please ! #M25Noise
Ever wondered why the M25 is so noisy for local residents and unpleasant to drive along between Junctions 8 and 9 (up to 11) ? Just take a look at the road surface. Sign this e-petition- let’s try to get something done about it. https://t.co/RSqhUrOHlD
Lowering speed limits on @tfl roads has cut the number of people being killed & seriously injured by 25%, with a
🚲9% fall in collisions with cyclists
🛵49% fall in motorbike collisions
& a staggering 64% fall in pedestrian collisions 🚶🚶
That's why we're rolling out more 20mph
I'm delighted to learn @reigatebanstead will top up every £1 of private donations to the Community Fund for Reigate & Banstead with an additional 50p between now and 31 March 2023.
The fund is crucial in supporting local projects. You can donate here: https://t.co/ebBZtdftQJ
There is a direct link between traffic speed and noise. Lower limits reduce noise. Good to see it happening on a main road where traffic noise tends to be at its worst.
The EU may revise its Noise Directive next year. And there is a possibility it may introduce mandatory targets to cut noise for the first time. Story featured in our current newsletter: https://t.co/LgaS5wQU9m
This is NOT a dump 🚫☹

Technology is changing, much of it is driven by the need to deal with climate change. That needs doing but there is a real danger it may be done at the expense of noise. To prevent this, we argue a noise audit is required of all new technology.

As Scotland is set to make 20mph the norm in built-up areas, research seems to show a 20mph limit in much of Edinburgh has led to a 7% increase in journeys by foot, a 5% increase in journeys by bicycle and a fall of 3% for journeys by car. https://t.co/ZUlda3Nyqc

For the first time since March 23rd when #peaceandquiet fell on the UK, #motorwaynoise can be heard again in the distance. #M3 @Wave105Travel So I assume #KateWeston & #SelinaRoss are starting to be busier each day now.
Birds are quieter too now.
#MotorwayNoise has a significant impact on communities around the network, in this instance #soundbarriers are part of the proposed solution. Large tracts of the #M25 do not have any sound barriers in place to reduce the impact on local residents. Action is needed . #M25Noise
@smitcr Not at the moment I’m afraid . There are a number of factors at play but I think the outcome of new quieter surface testing elsewhere in the motorway network is the main holdup .
Following concerted efforts from various corners , progress on #M25 noise between J8 Reigate & J11 Chertsey. Clarity is needed on what “resealed" and repaired means. Not Resurfaced ? #M25Noise#RoadNoise https://t.co/Blr7y8Uhrx
@george_curry@RBBCLeader@HighwaysSEAST We will find out more at our scheduled meeting next week. Hopefully it’s more than just a bit of further sealing ,which has failed previously, and better noise-reduction measures along the WHOLE length, as it’s simply not effective in places and causes problems for residents
@WaltonWonder1@TadworthWalton I’m hoping what’s proposed isn’t just old news / promises re-announced , basic repairs to the joints between concrete slabs is well overdue but does not go far enough . Missing sound barriers need to be replaced and proper resurfacing is required. #M25#M25Noise
