New regulations will come into effect shortly to ensure that motor vehicles comply with the permissible noise levels specified for vehicle horns in the country.
The regulations will enable the Commissioner-General of Motor Traffic to authorise officers of the Department carry out tests to ensure that motor vehicles are maintained to comply with the permissible noise levels.
The Motor Traffic (Vehicular Horn) Regulations have been made by the Minister of Transport and will apply to both locally manufactured, assembled, fabricated, innovated, adapted or designed in Sri Lanka, as well as those imported into the country.
The permissible noise levels emanating from vehicular horns have been specified in the National Environment (Vehicle Horn) Regulation.
Under the new regulations, owners or users of motor vehicles will have to ensure that drivers act in compliance with the provisions of this regulation. |
