3.4 Environmental Sustainability of Road Infrastructure and Transport

Various strategies have been developed and implemented in different countries to limit the impact on air pollution of areas with heavy road traffic, including ZEZ/LEZ, on which feedback is beginning to be available. Traffic noise problems also occur along major roads, which generally have high traffic volumes, while recurrent noise is a major health hazard for local residents. (extract from the Strategic Plan)
