<p>National Highways are responsible for managing and improving England’s motorways
and major A roads, known as the strategic road network. National Highways use a range
of measures to reduce the impact of noise on their roads including using low-noise
surfacing for road surfaces, installing noise barriers where suitable, and delivering
noise insulation packages. National Highways recognise that there are opportunities
to implement more measures in the older parts of its network that were built to different
standards and have set a target to mitigate noise in 7500 properties during the second
road investment period.</p><p> </p><p>The Government continues to take action to reduce
the levels of excessive noise experienced by communities, delivering noise mitigation
in Noise Important Areas near the strategic road network, and has funded leading research
into noise cameras to detect and enforce excessively noisy road vehicles.</p><p> </p>
