Noise level control on a busy intersection

In this paper, we will present the methods of reduction of traffic noise emitted from an intersection located in Zagreb, Croatia, specifically, the intersection between Slavonska Avenue and Marin Drzic Avenue. Both of these roads are multi-lane roads with high intensity traffic. Additionally, the Marin Drzic Avenue also has a tramway line in both directions located in the centre of the roadway. Due to the complexity the roads in question and traffic intensity on both of these roads, it was decided that the intersection itself would not have any traffic lights, but would be realized in form of a junction. Unfortunately, the development and realization of this project took place in a time when the influence of noise on people and the quality of life were not of primary concern. Because of that, a number of buildings, both residential and business, are now located in the close proximity of the junction, suffering high levels of unwanted traffic noise. In order to reduce the noise to a tolerable level, studies have been made to determine the possible course of action. The results of these studies are shown here.
