Strategic Noise Map for Night Traffic on Local Government Roads in Cantal

BUREAU DE RECHERCHES GÉOLOGIQUES ET MINIÈRES provides a GIS layer containing strategic noise maps for the night period. The data covers the road network of local and regional authorities in the French department of Cantal, specifically RRD and VC roads, as mandated by European Directive 2002/49/EC. The dataset was last updated on April 3, 2019.

Use Cases

• Modeling noise exposure for residential areas based on the mapped road network.
• Assessing compliance with EU Directive 2002/49/EC for local government infrastructure.
• Planning noise mitigation measures for specific road types (RRD, VC) in Cantal.
• Analyzing spatial patterns of nighttime noise pollution from local traffic.

Strengths

• Dataset is based on a formal legal order (Prefect of Cantal n°2012-1312) and a technical report, providing a clear regulatory foundation.
• Covers a specific and defined geographic area (Cantal department) and time period (night).
• Implements a European Union directive (2002/49/EC), ensuring a standardized methodological framework.

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
