Conclusions
• Urban areas/cities are hit the hardest
• Traffic noise is the culprit• Long term exposure >> irreversible
health & economic damage• Traffic is expected to increase• ± 70 million > 55 dB LDEN
• ± 50 million > 50 dB LNIGHT

And traffic is still growing
12-04-2023 WG Noise Lyon 12
Factors affecting traffic
• globalisation• population growth• individualisation• ageing• prosperity• Intensification• flexibilisation• computerisation• ‘informalisation’• labour participation • Increased free time
• spatial spread of work-living- services
• desire to be independent in time and space
• psychological• sociological• manoeuvrability• 24-7 economy• life- expectancy• education• pattern social activities• urban structure

Other developments
• Improving infrastructure• Expanding infrastructure• Negative media attention by PT
failure• Deterioration society and facilities
– Feelings unsafe (areas, time of the day,..)
• Et cetera

What is needed?• Source policy (EU/UN)
– Stricter ELV– Funding– Legislation
• National/regional policies– Legislation– Funding
• Local policies/measures– Car free zones/restricted zones/designated zones or roads– Urban planning/quiet road surfaces/
• Awareness/behaviour change– Public Transport– Walking/Biking– Quieter/cleaner cars

Towards a new mobility pattern as mobility is indispensible
• Promote sustainable ways of transportation• Provoke citizens, groups and entrepreneurs to chose ST• Reward sustainable transportation (tangible/visible)• Allow ST to dedicated areas as exemption• Stimulate, fiscal or financial (user/polluter principle)• Force enterprises /institutes to choose for ST of
employees and goods (permitting, ordinance,..)• Forbid/restrict car access (times and places)• Improved Public Transport (comfortable, facilities, etc.)• Authorities should be a shining example
12-04-2023 WG Noise Lyon 16
Urban planning and Noise• Intensification urbanisation (80% rule, less car use)• Speed up actions proposed by European Union regarding
curbing fossil fuelled cars by 2030 and 2050• Improve availability and quality of Public Transport• Facilities for quiet and clean vehicles such as
– Free parking place– Free electric charging poles– Better access to facilities
• Limited parking space (housing, offices)• Sustainable good deliveries (clean,
quiet, energy friendly)
12-04-2023 WG Noise Lyon 17
• Road design– Road profile & Quiet road surface– Positioning lanes, service- and biking/walking lanes– Optimised for less annoyance (road network)
• Neighbourhood design– Car restricted/free– PT stops at short distance, nodes to connect– Quiet Areas and Green
• Orientation and lay-out of sensitive buildings– Closed façades/ double façades/– Internal shielding (offices-dwellings)– Sensitive rooms at the back (quiet) side
Urban planning and Noise II

Conclusions• We cannot stop car mobility, no way to ban the iron
horse at all, it’s valuable for economy, quality of life, etc• It’s hard to change human behaviour [INTERNOISE2010]
• should pull and push?• educate and (re-)socialisation
• Urbanisation helps a little (80% and less car use)• Sustainable Urban Mobility is a must! SUMP’s• (Plug-in) Hybrids and Electric Vehicles are allowed to
enter urban areas; Conventionally fuelled cars are presumably prohibited as from 2030-2050 (EU), are there ways to speed up?
• Source policies, where are they?
