Quieter Pavements Guidance Document

This report provides guidance and better practice recommendations to the National Park Service for selecting pavement surfaces to minimize tire-pavement noise. The report contains an overview of common technologies and methods for quieter pavements, descriptions of research and quieter pavement specifications developed by several state agencies, and a directory of state agency noise and materials/pavement engineers. A brief introduction to some of the fundamentals of tire-pavement noise is included in an appendix.
