MEASURES FOR REDUCING ROAD TRAFFIC NOISE

TILTAK MOT VEGTRAFIKKSTOEY

This report primarily describes different traffic regulating measures available for abating road traffic noise. In addition, the report also deals with traffic engineering aspects of the more traditional measures, such as earthmounds and noise screens. The main emphasis is put on the effectiveness and cost of the different measures. (TRRL) conditions of use are indicated. New methods for assessing bitumen and bituminous mixtures are described. This paper is intended for specialists. Ultrasonic activation of bitumen should be noted.
