QUIET AREAS IN LITHUANIA

Councils of municipalities are obliged to determine (adopt) quiet areas (by official decision (legal act) of the municipality council)

Administrations of municipalities are obliged to monitor noise within quiet areas

3 types of quiet areas: quiet area in an agglomeration

(adopted in 2 of 4 agglomerations, the rest 2 agglomerations adopted quiet public areas)

quiet area in open country

(adopted in 37 of total 60 municipalities)

quiet public area

(adopted in 57 of total 60 municipalities)

ROAD TRAFFIC INFORMATION SYSTEMHTTP://EISMOINFO.LT/

Maintained by The Lithuanian Road Administration under the Ministry of Transport and Communications

Thematic blocks and information: Normative documents of road maintenance

Road maintenance level (classification of roads, eg. priorities for actions in winter)

Road works (in road of State importance)

Noise information – strategic noise maps of major roads (Lden and Ln)

Weather conditions

Traffic composition and annual average intensity

Road surface type, etc.

EXAMPLE OF EASY TOOL, CAPABLE TO MANAGE STRATE-GIC NOISE MAPS OF 4TH BY SIZE LITHUANIAN AGGLOMERATION

Different spatial layers can be grouped into one group of layers, so it is possible to display different noise sources and noise indicators in one map

Possibility to manage 3 maps can be used to present noise maps of 3 stages of END

Different input data formats supported, easy layer symbology

Can be embedded into other websites to provide basic information about content (eg. source of data, noise indicators, time line, health effects of noise, applicability and limitations of noise maps, etc.)

At no cost
