Map visualisation service (WMS) of the dataset: Nuisance — Strategic Noise Maps of Municipal Roads in Loir-et-cher

The European Directive 2002/49/EC on the assessment and management of environmental noise aims to assess the exposure to noise in the Member States in a harmonised manner. It defines them as data representations describing a sound situation according to a noise indicator, indicating exceedances of limit values, the number of people exposed. Noise cards have no prescriptive character. These are informational documents which are not enforceable at the legal level. As graphic elements, on the other hand, they can complement a local urban planning plan (PLU). As part of an urban travel plan (UDP), maps can be used to establish reference states and target areas where better traffic management is needed.
