The Quieter Road Surface Programme Selection Criteria for Roads to be Resurfaced The road should be relatively level(otherwise engine noise will dominate) The road should originally be paved with brushed concrete or other similar non-open textured surfaced(producing a high level of road/tyre noise) The road must carry smooth high speed traffic(where road/tyre noise will be a problem) with a low percentage of heavy vehicles The traffic noise from the road is a dominant noise source(reducing which will become tangible) [Chart of Relevant Statistics for the Quiet Road Surface Programme] [Chart of Progress of the Quiet Road Surface Programme]
