This Bill would ban road surfacing materials that cause in-vehicle noise above a set limit and require resurfacing of existing roads that exceed that limit with quieter materials. The aim is to reduce road noise for people living near roads and for drivers by setting a clear standard for surface noise and how it should be achieved.
The Bill has completed its first reading and is now at the second reading stage in the House of Commons; the second reading is scheduled for 1 May 2026, after which it would move on to committee consideration if it progresses.
