End Of Noisy Motorcycles? Jacareí Initiative Promises To Silence Vehicles. New Law Against Noisy Motorcycles Could Impose Fines Up To R$ 3.4 Thousand.
The Municipal Chamber of Jacareí, in the Paraíba Valley, unanimously approved a law proposed by councilor Abner Rosa (PSDB) that establishes strict rules for the end of noisy motorcycles. The new law for noisy motorcycles aims to ensure the well-being of the population and preserve the right to a noise-free environment.
Understand The New Law That Could Bring An End To Noisy Motorcycles
Excessive noise is an annoying reality for those living in urban areas, and among the main sources of noise pollution, noisy motorcycles occupy a prominent place. However, the end of noisy motorcycles is near, and the situation is about to change.
Now, in Jacareí, it is prohibited to modify the motorcycle’s exhaust, whether through structural changes or part replacements. The air intake system and other components that affect noise levels must also comply with factory specifications.

Inspection for the end of noisy motorcycles will also be stricter, and municipal agents will be on the streets to ensure compliance with the law. They will use measuring equipment to verify if noise levels are within established limits. With the new law on noisy motorcycles, fines will work as follows:
- Nighttime (10 PM to 7 AM): 20 VRMs, totaling R$ 1,709.80;
- Late Afternoon (7 PM to 10 PM): 15 VRMs, or R$ 1,282.35;
- Daytime (7 AM to 7 PM): 10 VRMs (Municipal Reference Value), equivalent to R$ 854.90;
- Sensitive Areas: In zones close to hospitals, schools, and other locations that require silence, fines are doubled, reaching R$ 3,419.60;
- Repeat Offenses: Each new infraction will result in more severe penalties.
Understand How The Application Of The New Law For Noisy Motorcycles Will Work In Practice
Inspection for the end of noisy motorcycles will be carried out by traffic agents and competent authorities from the City Hall of Jacareí, equipped with decibel meters to measure motorcycle noise.
In case of irregularity, the driver will be fined and may have the vehicle seized until the exhaust is regularized. With the sanction of Mayor Izaias Santana (PSDB), the expectation is that the law will bring a significant reduction in noise pollution and improve the quality of life for residents.
This new law for noisy motorcycles aligns with initiatives taken in other countries. At the beginning of February, for example, the Municipal Council of Paris proposed another measure to contain environmental impacts in urban areas and improve residents’ quality of life. The Council is the body that merges parliamentary and public participation, and together with the city hall, governs the French capital and its districts.

The Council went public to propose that motorcycles and scooters powered by combustion engines be prohibited from circulating in the streets during the night and early morning, between 10 PM and 7 AM. The goal is to reduce noise in the city, decrease emissions, and, on top of that, allow residents to have a more peaceful sleep.
Under the proposal, electric motorcycles, scooters, mopeds of all sizes and models would be exempt from the restriction, as would, of course, quiet bicycles of all types.
The current proposal was defended by Pierre-Yves Bournazel, representative of the 18th district of the French capital. However, the council’s plan is still in the discussion phase and has not yet become law or been promulgated as a decree, for example.
