	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2014 answer text <p>The science of noise barriers (acoustic fencing) is well established. A noise barrier creates a &quot;shadow zone&quot; behind it, reducing the energy of the sound waves in a comparable way to a breakwater protecting a harbour. The Highways Agency is actively encouraging developments in noise barrier technology and is represented on the British Standards Institution (BSI) committee involved in preparing new standards for noise barriers in line with the EU Harmonised standard EN1793.</p> answering member constituency South Holland and The Deepings answering member printed Mr John Hayes question first answered 05/11/2014 12:36:21 answering member 350 label Biography information for Sir John Hayes

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2014 answer text <p>Calculation of Road Traffic Noise (CRTN) provides advice on appropriate road surface corrections to be applied within noise assessments. However, this advice does not currently extend to the range of proprietary thin bituminous surfacing materials, commonly regarded as a low-noise surfacing, which emerged in the late 1990’s. There is additional advice to CRTN procedures in the Design Manual for Roads and Bridges in the noise and vibration standard HD213. Revised in 2011, HD213 sets out an example methodology which can be used to determine appropriate road surface corrections for low-noise surfaces.</p> answering member constituency South Holland and The Deepings answering member printed Mr John Hayes question first answered 05/11/2014 12:38:26 answering member 350 label Biography information for Sir John Hayes
