How do i remove 'traffic noise'?

[leemonk 0]

Hi,

I was wondering how i reduce traffic noise near my $$$ wealth High density?

I have severed links to certain parts of the road, but that doesnt seem to work and only increases traffic elsewhere.

I have tried changing roads into streets which i thought would reduce traffic noise ie a smaller road, but that actualy seemed to increase the noise.

Any ideas please?

Chancing it to a street won't work at all, instead you should upgrade the road to a avenue, or, because that takes up a lot of space, change it to an OWR, and ensure that cars can go both ways (ie. one road northbound and the next one southbound), this will (without the NAM) increase the speed and let cars stop for shorter times.

Try building a subway underneath the road that is causing the noise. Maybe more people will travel with the subway and thus clearing the road above of traffic.

Tell me how it works out.

So..... basically the slower the traffic on the road the noisier? I thought it might have been the other way around. Sadly I do not have the cash for Underground trains just yet.

Cheers for teh replies guys.

No. A small street is usually very good. You will have mediocre noise. But once the street is crowded people start to honk (fig). That raises the noise. In that case a road, one-way-street or avenue is better.
