controlling general road vehicle noise

- traffic may be rerouted to avoid more sensitive (usually residential) areas

- traffic management to produce free flow of the traffic reduces the louder noise produced during acceleration

- fences, embankments, walls and dense tree planting can help to absorb noise around roads

- double glazing can reduce noise levels within buildings
