Out of curiosity, did anyone once ever ask the people driving it if they could avoid an area, or if it was really becoming as much of a problem as what you say (I'll take your word for it), did you ever consider to ask them to turn it off for a while?

It's one thing to completely bash it after the fact, but if it was becoming such a problem in all of your eye's, then why did no one do anything about it? You can't expect a situation to get better if you don't make an attempt to confront it.
