Strategic Noise Maps for National Roads in Côte d'Or, 2012-2017

Strategic noise maps for major national roads in the Côte d'Or department of France, created for the second deadline (2012-2017) under the European Union's Environmental Noise Directive. The dataset was produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM) and last updated in March 2019. Maps are required for roadways used by more than 8,200 vehicles per day.

Use Cases

• Modeling population exposure to traffic noise based on the EU noise mapping framework.
• Assessing compliance with noise thresholds for roads with over 8,200 vehicles per day.
• Informing Environmental Noise Prevention Plans (PPBEs) at the local level as described in the French Environmental Code.

Strengths

• Data is mandated by a specific EU directive (2002/49/EC), providing a legal and methodological framework.
• Maps cover a defined five-year regulatory period (2012-2017) for the second deadline.
• Produced by a named geological and mining research organization (BRGM).

Limitations

• Last updated 2019-03-29 00:00:00; freshness should be verified.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
