This synthesis will be of interest to highway environmental engineers, noise analysts, design engineers, maintenance personnel, planners, administrators, and others responsible for the design, selection, and maintenance of noise barriers or other traffic noise abatement policies. Information is provided on current state practice associated with noise abatement techniques and on the various products that are used. This synthesis describes the state of the art with respect to traffic noise abatement procedures, especially noise barriers. This report of the Transportation Research Board provides information on the design, construction and maintenance of both new (Type I) and retrofit ( Type II) noise barriers. The design elements that are addressed include materials, the selection process, service life, foundations, drainage, aesthetics, and safety. The construction section covers technical problems related to surface effects, durability, snow damage, and costs. Other noise abatement measures such as insulation and highway design alternatives are also addressed. The issue of public demand and availability funding is included, and recommendations are made to improve the situation.

This report provides information about the problem of highway traffic noise and the United States' response to that problem. The report summarizes 1) the general nature of the problem, 2) the response of the Federal Highway Administration to the problem, and 3) highway noise barriers constructed or planned. Before discussing these items, a general discussion of the Federal-aid highway program is presented. An appendix contains 23 CFR Part 772 - Procedures for Abatement of Highway Traffic Noise and Construction Noise. This report is an updated version of an earlier report (FHWA-PD-97-064) with the same title.
