| ABSTRACT The problem of noise pollution emitted by various means of transportation within the main traffic arteries of Egyptian cities is one of important and contemporary issues which must be handled with a high degree of concern, and needs suitable natural or artificial treatment. As concluded from scientific studies and research in the field of environmental protection, especially noise pollution, it is clear that the main axes of movement, and their various means of transportation caused about 80% of the noise emitted, and the average level is ranged between 85 to 100 dB in addition to the increase of 12-14 dB per year. So the issue of noise pollution must carefully address in the planning stage and development of contemporary Egyptian cities. The "acrylic screens" are considered as modern artificial treatments that can be used by the planners and developers of Egyptian cities to reduce noise levels, it provides an effective treatment for noise pollution, and does not require large areas for establishment, also its cost is considered relatively low. In this work, the importance of using "acrylic screens" is discussed to reduce sound when planning the axes of movement and transport networks. As also, the research takes in to consideration the most important considerations to create these screens, like heights and distances from noise sources. Finally, the paper emphasis the importance of using acrylic screens, and included it in urban planning studies, to reduce noise pollution level, and consider it as of most important solutions to noise problems resulting from different transportation means. Also, the paper identify some planning considerations that should be taken to address the problems of noise pollution, especially in transportation and traffic studies، as well as the study concluded identify some of the considerations of planning that should be taken into account to address the problems of noise pollution, especially in studies of transportation and traffic, in addition to the proposal for some of the recommendations, and the application of the most important results that contribute to the improvement of the urban environment surrounding, so as to ensure the achievement of sustainable and comprehensive development in various development sectors in general, and studies of transportation and traffic, especially contemporary Egyptian cities. | ||||
