Interesting thing about noise barriers: they CAN utterly destroy the character of a city. My family lives in Henderson, Nevada, where EVERY main (four-lane) street has noise barriers on both sides of the street, from one end of a loooong block to the other, endlessly. That's what you see as you drive along: solid beige noise walls. No houses, stores, or anything else to distinguish one block from the next. It's just depressing. It's like driving through an open cut. |
