Transportation: noise action plan
This plan is one in a suite of six noise action plans produced under the terms of the Environmental Noise Directive (END).
7 Identification of Quiet Areas (QAs)
7.1 Introduction to quiet areas
END is also clear that Member States should aim to identify and preserve its Quiet Areas [21] . Preserving existing quiet areas is of equal importance to managing high noise levels in noisy areas where people are most likely to be affected by noise. Noise mapping has been used to identify Candidate Quiet Areas in Scotland with a subsequent process leading to agreement of designating actual Quiet Areas [22] .
7.2 Quiet Noise identification (cQA to QA)
There are no candidate Quiet Areas (cQA) on the major road or rail networks mapped during END Round 2.
