Under the Traffic Regulations, all motor vehicles must comply with the requirements on the emission of smoke, polluting gases, and noise pollution. For this reason, it is prohibited to ride without an exhaust silencer or with one in poor condition, on roads both outside and within built-up areas, as this can cause noise pollution.
