NOISE BARRIER DESIGN GUIDELINES. FINAL REPORT
This 132-page report provides guidelines and suggestions for the improved design of freeway noise barriers, using examples from the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area. The guidelines have been developed to encourage an attractive and efficient system of noise control and to achieve design continuity throughout the area. A variety of techniques of wall shape and texture and landscaping application are provided which can be adapted for specific environments. The approach presented views the wall and associated landscaping as an integrated system that should be designed to reflect and enhance the surrounding community. The concepts developed in the study are illustrated through several prototype designs.
