Dear SUSTRAN-friends,
Greetings.
Can anybody tell me whether it makes any difference
to redirect the location of exhaust pipes of vehicles? Cebu City's
government is proposing an ordinance making it compulsary for owners
and operators of trucks and other large vehicles to put the exhaust
pipe on the left side of the vehicle. The government also wants the
exhaust pipes to point upwards. The rationale is that if exhaust
pipes point upwards and to the opposite side of where pedestrians and
passengers are (they are supposedly at the right side of the road),
people won't be so affected by the exhaust. The proposed fines for
noncompliance are quite stiff.
Will it make any difference? Most vehicles still run on diesel or
ordinary leaded gasoline. Smoke-belching is rampant.
Thank you!
Sincerely yours,
Marit Stinus-Remonde
