7 The Noise Balance 2015 project Conclusion and continuing questions 754 municipalities cited measures for noise reduction (40% of municipalities with reported noise action planning, 12% of municipalities with noise mapping) Possible criteria of a succesfull implementation of noise action plans Less noise exposure by the implementation of the noise action plan Higher allowance of the needs for noise reduction in urban and transport planning (strategic approach) Raising the awareness of the need for noise reduction in the society (politics, citizenship, ) slide 7

18 Speed limits in german cities Background Umsetzung des Lkw-Führungskonzeptes Speed reduction is an important measure in german noise action plans Speed limits to 30 kph have high acoustic benefits in relation to relative low costs At the same time this measure is very controversial in discussions among experts and in political and public circles Also the necessary cooperation between the planning departments and the executive highway departments does not work without friction in many cases slide 18

20 Model test of 30 kph in Frankfurt The noise action plan for Frankfurt 2010 includes 30 kph at night for selected streets in the city of Frankfurt Umsetzung des Lkw-Führungskonzeptes In 2012 Frankfurt tested 30 kph at night on one main road, in 2015 Frankfurt on four other main roads The roads have mostly two lanes per direction and a high congestion between cars (one direction) and cars in the night (8 hours) Sources: Straßenverkehrsamt Frankfurt a.m., LK Argus Kassel slide 20

21 Model test of 30 kph in Frankfurt The test covers the questions Will the speed limit observed? Can noise reduction be quantified? What s the opinion of the inhabitants? Will traffic relocate in other routes? Will traffic flow change? What s the opinion of the car drivers? To get answers Traffic volume, traffic speed, traffic flow and noise are measured Inhabitants and car drivers are consulted Sources: Straßenverkehrsamt Frankfurt a.m., LK Argus Kassel GmbH slide 21

25 Model test of 30 kph in Frankfurt Summary The traffic speed is already decreased in the first four weeks with speed limit other surveys show that the downward movement continue up to minimum six months The noise exposure is clearly declined The noise reduction is positivly noticed by the inhabitants The surveyed traffic volume shows no indication for negative traffic relocation Negative effects to traffic flow are not extensive at night mostly driving time depends on the traffic light circuit The adverse effects, the car drivers suspected, are unimportant slide 25

28 Public participation in Bielefeld Feasibility study of the public proposals for measures In a first screening the proposals were checked whether they are related to ambient noise and the loudness is harmful in terms of the directive of environmental noise In the second step the practicability concerning to the legal framework and the effect of the recommended measures were verified After that the facility of realisation or advanced assessement was checked Therefore the Environmental Agency held two meetings with amongst others the planning agency and the traffic agency In this workshops the agencies compiled a commend list of measures, which shall be realised or still proved slide 28

30 Berlin s noise action plan and its implementation 2008: The first noise reduction plan for Berlin 2014: The first update of the noise action plan for Berlin : Pilot Projects in four districts of Berlin Pankow Mitte Charlottenburg- Wilmersdorf Köpenick Source: slide 30

31 The first noise action plan for Berlin focus traffic planning Traffic planning Noise reduction Change Modal-Split to reduce the volume of car traffic New road connections and shifting traffic volume Traffic control and routeing Reorganize traffic (speed limit, redesign street space) supporting concepts small-scale measures in street space Sources: slide 31

32 Berlin s noise action plan and its implementation Speed limits In 2008 a concept for 30 kph at night was developed In 2015 there were 164 km of the main roads with speed limit of 30 kph at night In addition further roads have a speed limit of 30 kph to increase traffic safety especially at schools Overall a speed limit of 30 kph exists on 17% of the main roads in Berlin Source: slide 32

35 Berlin s noise action plan and its implementation Assistance for regarding the environmental issues in urbanism Strategic handling with existing noise exposure situations how is healthy living possible in such situations The two issues for this are How can I avoid additional pollution caused by the new land use How can I avoid or decrease the noise disturbance also in situations with a high noise load Source: slide 35

36 Berlin s noise action plan and its implementation Assistance for regarding the environmental issues in urbanism Criteria and schemata to estimate the noise exposure and to name demands for urban development Advices for avoiding an increase of traffic and noise Needs to the quality of urban design, which can compensate noise exposure and that are attractive even if exposed to noise Needs to the urban structure, which is able to deal with exposure on the exposed sides and that creates quiet, noise-shielded areas Source: slide 36
