Transportation Noise Maps
Transportation Noise Maps are visual tools that show levels of noise generated by transportation sources like roads, railways, airports, and ports across a specific area. They help identify where noise pollution is highest and may impact residents, by illustrating the intensity and spread of noise exposure. These maps are useful for urban planning, environmental assessments, and public health, enabling decision-makers to implement strategies to reduce noise impacts, such as sound barriers or zoning regulations. Essentially, they translate complex noise data into clear visuals to better understand and manage transportation-related noise pollution.
