Study on the prevention and control measures of China’s urban road traffic noise pollution

Abstract

Just like the other countries in the world, urban road traffic noise pollution is widespread in China, and with the acceleration of its urbanization process, noise pollution continuously arises. However, China’s legislation and governance measures on noise pollution control began in 1989, which is relatively late. Based on the urban road traffic noise pollution status and typical cities’ measures in China, and combined with the successful experiences of developed countries, this paper analyzes the causes and puts forward corresponding prevention and control measures from five aspects, such as improving the laws and regulations, focusing on planning and design, thinking highly of Noise Mapping, carrying out special noise reduction projects and strengthening management measures, as a reference for the relevant jurisdictions and scientific researchers.
