Traffic noise surveying and analysis was performed along three main roads in the Beijing urban area—the 2nd and 3rd ring roads circling the central downtown area and Chang-An Avenue, a major east—west corridor road through the heart of the city. The results indicate that these main roads are overloaded by traffic flow during daytime and noise levels due to road traffic along these roads are above relevant environmental standards by 5 dBA. The spatial variance of traffic noise was also analyzed, with the results indicating that the spatial differences result primarily from the unbalanced development of Beijing's urban districts.
