ABATEMENT OF HIGHWAY NOISE WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO ROADSIDE DESIGN

NOISE THAT EMANATES FROM THE HIGHWAY TO THE SURROUNDING AREA, PARTICULARLY TO ABUTTING PROPERTY, AS WELL AS WITH WHAT MAY BE DONE BY THE HIGHWAY ENGINEER TO MAKE THIS NOISE LESS OBJECTIONABLE TO ROADSIDE DWELLERS, IS TREATED. THE REPORT HAS INTENTIONALLY BEEN LIMITED IN SCOPE TO THE RECOGNITION THAT THERE IS NEED FOR ABATEMENT OF HIGHWAY NOISE; UNITS OF MEASUREMENT; INFORMATION AS TO WHAT IS KNOWN; CITATION OF EXAMPLES; AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN THIS FIELD. THE LIST OF REFERENCES IS PERHAPS THE MOST IMPORTANT CONTRIBUTION SINCE IT AFFORDS THE READER THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE FOR HIMSELF THE BEST INFORMATION AVAILABLE AT THIS WRITING. /AUTHOR/
