- Abstract
Traffic is the largest source of noise pollution in urban areas and traffic generates approximately 80% of noise pollution. Thus, there are many regulations, guidelines, and laws in Bosnia and Herzegovina and across the region, adopted to reduce noise emissions and the negative effects of noise on people and the environment. This paper, in addition to general information about noise, presents relevant regulations and legal frameworks in the European Union and Bosnia and Herzegovina. It provides an analysis of the action plans, the relevant factors, and adopted measures for traffic noise protection. When designing noise protection barriers, many segments must be taken into account, such as the environment, geographical and meteorological characteristics of the terrain, infrastructure, type and purpose of the road, etc. The paper presents aspects that must be considered when selecting and designing noise protection barriers and how they may affect the safety of road users and users of surrounding buildings. These effects are analyzed on examples from the region and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Finally, the safety potential of noise protection barriers, which hasn't been sufficiently researched, still remains an open question.
