'THE screening of big thoroughfares is L one of the most promising methods of protection against noise, according to Soviet architects who have been studying the problem for several years.
This method is being employed by designers in Moscow and Volgograd in designing noise abatement barriers on experimental sections of radial thoroughfares in new city districts. They are confident they can overcome noise by building along each side of the road a 3 m.-high earth bank with a reinforced concrete screen on top.
In big cities, where large-scale reconstruction is impossible, the architects propose changing the flow of traffic by the construction of parallel roads equipped with sound abatement screens to carry the balk of the goods traffic.
