Bedeutung
A road with little noise
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Slovakia, 'nočný pokoj' (night peace) is legally enforced from 10 PM to 6 AM. On a 'tichá ulica', neighbors are very sensitive to noise during these hours. The 'tichá ulica' is often associated with 'Old Town' charm, where cobblestone streets prevent fast traffic, naturally keeping the area quiet. A 'tichá ulica' can increase the price of a property by up to 20% compared to a similar property on a main road. Modern Slovak developers often create 'closed communities' to guarantee a 'tichá ulica' environment for residents.
