NCP addresses potential highway noise before problems occur

Appropriate development that can accommodate roadway noise is encouraged next to highways

* Opportunity Costs (more roadway and construction $)
* May Block Light and "Close-in" Neighborhoods






PURPOSE

(Commercial, Office, Retail, Industrial)
* Promote Use of Open Space
(Walking & Bike Paths, Recreational Uses)
* Reorient Residential w/ Less Sensitive Uses Away from the Roadway


Commercial, Retail, Office



Key Terms for Noise Measurements

* Propagation Medium - Path to the Receiver
* Receiver - Location Where Noise Is Assessed
