Publication details: Paris Conference of European Directors of Roads, 2010; CEDR report 2010/05, Description: 108 sSubject(s): Online resources: Bibl.nr: VTI 2010.0218Location: Abstract: The Conference of European Directors of Roads (CEDR) included the task 'To reduce road traffic noise' (Task C 3) in its Strategic Plan 2005-2009 [1]. Each CEDR member state was invited to appoint a member to the CEDR noise group. One of the main objectives of the CEDR noise group was to facilitate knowledge sharing on noise management and abatement issues among European national road administrations (NRAs). In order to reach these objectives, a comprehensive survey questionnaire was prepared and a survey was carried out on how noise issues are treated in NRAs around Europe. This report contains the results of the survey that was conducted in the winter of 2006-07. The basic idea of this report is to make practical knowledge sharing on the practical management of noise and noise abatement possible between the national road administrations. It is hoped that this report will provide guidance on how to achieve an even better approach to noise abatement in Europe for the benefit of the people living in close proximity to the national road networks in particular and to all roads in general.The Conference of European Directors of Roads (CEDR) included the task 'To reduce road traffic noise' (Task C 3) in its Strategic Plan 2005-2009 [1].
