NOISE PROTECTION ON HIGHWAYS - REGULATION OR CHANGE IN THE LAW

LAERMSCHUTZ AN STRASSEN - VERORDNUNG ODER GESETZESAENDERUNG?

FOR THE FIRST TIME THE LEGISLATORS WITH THEIR NEW NOISE PROTECTION LAW REQUIRE THAT IN NEW CONSTRUCTION AND IN MAJOR CHANGES IN HIGHWAYS A SPECIFIED PROPORTION OF THE HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION COSTS SHALL BE SET ASIDE FOR NECESSARY NOISE PROTECTION LEVELS. THE DRAFTS OF THE NOISE PROTECTION REGULATIONS, HOWEVER, SPECIFY TOO HIGH A NOISE LEVEL FOR THE PLANNING STAGE. THE PROTECTION FROM HIGH LEVELS OF NOISE EXPOSURE REQUIRES THAT A SUFFICIENTLY LOW NOISE LEVEL SHOULD BE ACHIEVED IN THE OPEN AIR. ATTEMPTS ARE OFTEN MADE IN DRAFTING OF GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS TO SEE HOW FAR THE PROTECTIVE AIMS CAN BE TONED DOWN IN THE DRAFTING. A DIMINISHED PROTECTION WOULD NOT ACHIEVE THE AIMS OF THE FEDERAL NOISE NUISANCE PROTECTION LAW AND WOULD TEND MUCH MORE TO UNDERMINE IT AND HAVE EFFECTS ON OTHER AREAS OF NOISE PROTECTION.
