Module 5c: Noise and its Abatement updated

[SUTP team]

An immense number of cars, motorcycles, trucks and other motorized vehicles criss-crosses developing cities, day and night. The resulting traffic noise poses many serious health risks, and leads to a deteriorating quality of life. The revised SUTP Module 5c Noise and its abatement addresses these issues by summarizing negative impacts of traffic noise and illustrating remedial measures. The latter range from avoiding motorized traffic especially in sensitive urban areas to adjusting the road geometry and design. The 32-page, full colour document features updated data and improved illustrations of noise reducing measures adopted in the European context.
