SF Noise Pollution - Enforce motorbike noise laws

We, the people of San Francisco, ask that SFPD prioritizes the enforcement of current noise ordinances and motor vehicle modification restrictions, with regards to motorcycles and other vehicle noise.

We hope that this can help reduce the sources of the loudest noise in San Francisco and discourage irresponsible motorists from visiting the city.

Why is this important?

It's not actually OK to have ridiculously loud mufflers on a motorcycle or blast music from speakers mounted on one. These are against laws that just don't get enforced, like jay-walking or littering laws. The difference is that loud motorcycles make all of our lives a little worse.. There's even studies that show this noise can raise blood pressure.

Check out this KRON4 Stanley Robers' report from 2009:

More of that, please.

Let's tell the city to enforce these laws and take this issue even a little seriously.
