Impact of noise on the City of Solingen: Public involvement in the noise management plan

In the city of Solingen, a new noise action plan has been proposed to address areas where noise levels exceed health-relevant thresholds, particularly the 24-hour noise level of 65 decibels and the night noise level of 55 decibels.

The plan, developed based on the city's noise mapping, is focused on reducing traffic noise and protecting residents from the health impacts of excessive noise levels. The noise mapping in Solingen is conducted every five years and is used to create the noise action plan.

The noise action plan in Solingen displays noise problems and effects, and it is aimed at addressing areas with high noise levels that may impact resident health. The plan proposes measures to reduce noise intensity in these areas, such as noise barriers, traffic calming, and restrictions on noise sources.

Specific proposals from the current Solingen noise action plan are not explicitly listed in the available sources, but the plan is focused on residential areas where the health-relevant noise levels are exceeded. The plan is also focused on areas where the night noise level of 55 decibels is exceeded.

Interested Solingen residents can participate and submit comments on the noise action plan until October 18. The current draft of the noise action plan is available on the municipal participation portal "Solingen talks".

The noise mapping in Solingen is based on traffic noise measurements recorded on all main traffic routes in the city where more than three million vehicles travel annually. The plan targets areas with high noise levels that may pose a health risk to residents.

The goal of the noise action plan in Solingen is to protect people from noise. It aims to reduce traffic noise and provide solutions to reduce noise levels in residential areas where the health-relevant noise levels are exceeded.

Residents are encouraged to review the noise action plan and submit their comments to help shape a safer and quieter Solingen.
