Abstract :

The present study has been carried out to assess the traffic noise level (Leq) at five major crossings of NH1 A highway of Jammu city at three time periods of the day viz. Morning (8–10hrs.), noon (12–2 hrs.) and evening (6–8 hrs.) for three seasons i.e. rainy, summer and winter season. Besides this traffic flow rate for the sites was also assessed during the study. The study revealed that noise levels were higher during the rainy season as compared to winter and summer season for the given sites. All the sites exhibited positive correlation between traffic flow rate and Leq values during all the seasons.
