Strategic Noise Maps for Municipal Roads in Beaune, France

Strategic noise maps for road infrastructure managed by the municipality of Beaune, produced under the European Directive 2002/49/EC. The data follows the COVADIS standard for environmental noise and was approved by the Prefect of Côte-d’Or in October 2018.
