Description
European Directive 2002/49/EC mandates the harmonised assessment of environmental noise exposure. This dataset is an aggregation of Type B strategic noise maps for national roads, created using the QGIS MIZOGEO plugin provided by CEREMA. The data was last updated on May 3, 2021, and originates from the French geological and mining research bureau (BRGM).
Use Cases
Assess population exposure to road traffic noise based on the noise indicators defined in the description
Identify areas exceeding noise limit values for targeted traffic management as part of an Urban Travel Plan (UDP)
Supplement Local Planning Plans (LDP) with graphic noise data for zoning and development decisions
Establish baseline noise levels for infrastructure projects as referenced in the French decree of March 24, 2006
Strengths
Data is produced under a harmonized European framework (Directive 2002/49/EC)
Aggregation was performed using a standardized QGIS plugin (MIZOGEO) from a recognized agency (CEREMA)
Maps represent sectors defined in official prefectural sound classification boards
