Subject(s): Online resources: Abstract: Based on a thorough literature study, the effect of various traffic flow measures on noise and annoyance is assessed. The measures in the study range from typical traffic calming measures, the effects of which are limited to the specific location, to congestion charging which aims at changing traffic flows in large areas and entire cities. Of all the measures in the study, only vertical deflections (road humps and speed cushions) have been subject to sufficient testing to allow firm conclusions to be drawn regarding noise and noise annoyance effects.
