4.1 Traffic Volumes

Traffic data presented in Table 4.2 were used in the configuration of the road traffic noise model.
TARS data were provided by TMR for the existing scenario (AADT and historical growth rates). The
10 year horizon traffic figures were based on the default TMR growth rate of 3.5 % per annum. The
18 hour traffic flow is assumed to be 94 % of the AADT.

4.2 Traffic Speed

The existing posted traffic speed is provided in Table 4.2. Noise modelling for current (2014) and
future (2024) years is based on the posted traffic speed.

4.3 Road Surface

The current road pavement surfacing is assumed to be principally dense graded asphalt. TMR, 2008
recommends a correction of + 0 dB(A) for dense graded asphalt.

4.4 Model Verification

The calculated noise level for 2014 was compared with the measured noise level as presented in
Table 4.3.
