NOISE STANDARDS FOR FEDERAL HIGHWAYS
THE FEDERAL-AID HIGHWAY ACT OF 1970 REQUIRES THAT NOISE STANDARDS BE DEVELOPED, PROMULGATED, AND APPLIED TO THE PLANNING AND DESIGN OF HIGHWAY PROJECTS. MANY CONSIDERATIONS MUST BE WEIGHED DURING THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUCH STANDARDS: THE COMPREHENSIVE OVERALL STRATEGY FOR TRAFFIC NOISE CONTROL, STANDARDS, OR POLICIES ALREADY ADOPTED BY OTHER AGENCIES; DESIRABLE NOISE LEVELS; NOISE PREDICTION CAPABILITY; CURRENTLY AVAILABLE ABATEMENT TECHNIQUES (AND THEIR EFFECTIVENESS); AND THE EFFECT OF STANDARDS ON THE HIGHWAY PROGRAM. EACH OF THESE FACTORS HAS BEEN GIVEN THOROUGH EXAMINATION. THE STANDARDS WILL ACCOMPLISH ALL THAT THE LAW REQUIRES AND MORE.
