Geneva State Councilor Antonio Hodgers says he is disappointed in the German-speaking press by the delay in the introduction of noise-cancelling radars. A small minority of road users are the cause of excessive noise, he says.

(Keystone-ATS) The collaboration with the Federal Office for the Environment was promising and all the lights were green, said Mr. Hodgers in an interview broadcast on Friday by the newspapers of the CH Media press group. “The fact that the Federal Council is now slowing down must be motivated by political reasons,” he adds, speaking of an “attack on federalism” which deprives the cantons of the necessary means.
The head of the Geneva Territorial Department points out that other countries, such as France, are already banking on noise-cancelling radars. “We will certainly intervene with the Confederation and seek dialogue with Environment Minister Rösti.”
Radars tested in Geneva
According to newspapers, the Confederation is currently evaluating the use of a noise-cancelling radar in German-speaking Switzerland, in Röschenz (BL).
A first test had already been carried out in Geneva. The Federal Council announced in mid-October that the project had been carried out successfully and that the radars had made it possible to identify noisy vehicles.
