Implication

Cross-sectional assessment reveals road traffic noise exceeds national thresholds across urban zones, indicating widespread environmental hazards for local residents.

Key Points

Road traffic noise levels exceed recommended national safety thresholds across all monitored urban zones, creating pervasive environmental exposure risks for urban communities.
Noise pollution reached a peak equivalent noise level of 86.5 dBA in commercial transit corridors, whereas sensitive zones recorded lower exposures of 72.5 dBA across city sectors.
Spatial interpolation mapping combined with traffic noise index calculations evaluated neighborhood acoustics, highlighting urgent needs for targeted municipal mitigation strategies.
