A lot of people have lived in my neighbourhood for 30-40 years. Sure, there was always a ring road plan on the books. But I doubt anyone buying a house in 1985 would have anticipated the kind of noise we’re getting from the SW RR today. In particular, they couldn’t have anticipated the dude-bro culture of modding cars and bikes to make them louder that has become popular in the last 10-15 years, and the seeming inability of cities to do anything to enforce the noise bylaws these drivers break.
As Acey points out, cities the world over typically have lower limits on roads that run through and along cities than roads that connect cities through rural areas.
