City of Gelsenkirchen: Noise mapping Road traffic
Description
The European Union’s Environmental Noise Directive establishes a legal framework across Europe to make noise more involved in municipal planning. The implementation of this Directive entails two tasks: the preparation of noise maps and the development of noise action plans. The noise maps capture certain sources of noise in a city, which noise pollution from them and how many people are affected by them, thus making the noise problems and negative noise effects visible. They are the basis for noise action planning. The results of noise mapping are not comparable to results from existing national calculation methods or with existing limit values, guidelines and orientation values of various legal regulations. The action values for a subsequent action plan were set by the Ministry of Environment, Agriculture, Nature and Consumer Protection in NRW 70 dB(A) for the total day and 60 dB(A) at night. After verification by the State Office for Nature, Environment and Consumer Protection (LANUV), the results will be presented on the LANUV’s environmental noise website (www.umgebungslaerm.nrw.de) via the Internet
