Nuisance — Strategic noise maps of the municipal roads of Vendome in Loir-et-Cher

The European Directive 2002/49/EC on the assessment and management of environmental noise aims at a harmonised assessment of exposure to noise in the Member States. It defines them as representations of data describing a noise situation according to a noise indicator, indicating exceedances of limit values, the number of persons exposed. Noise maps are not prescriptive. These are information documents that are not legally enforceable. As graphic elements, however, they can supplement a Local Planning Plan (LDP). As part of an Urban Travel Plan (UDP), maps can be used to establish baselines and target areas where better traffic management is needed.《欧盟2002/49/EC号环境噪声评估与管理指令》旨在在欧盟成员国范围内实现噪声暴露评估的统一化。该指令将噪声地图定义为：依据噪声指标描述噪声状况、标明限值超标情况及受暴露人数的数据表征形式。噪声地图不具备规范性约束力，仅作为参考性资料，不具有法律强制执行力。但作为可视化图表元素，噪声地图可作为地方规划计划（Local Planning Plan, LDP）的补充材料。作为城市出行规划（Urban Travel Plan, UDP）的组成部分，噪声地图可用于划定基准基线与需要优化交通管理的目标区域。
