PT-5: Quiet Pavement

2-3 points

Goal

Improve human health by reducing tire-pavement noise.

Requirements

At least 75% of the traveled lane area where the speed limit is greater than 30 mph use a pavement surface course that produces tire-pavement noise levels at or below those listed in Table PT-6.1. Testing shall be done using the On-Board Sound Intensity (OBSI) method with the ASTM Standard Reference Test Tire (SRTT). Table PT-6.1 describes test vehicle speed parameters. This credit can earn 2 or 3 points depending upon the level of noise reduction achieved.

If the project has multiple speed limits, each section that applies to this credit shall be tested according to its posted speed limit as shown in Table PT-6.1.
