    Rigid pavement - noise reduction

    godier- The primary objectionable noise on new concrete pavements is due to the texture, and the primary way to lessen the noise is to use a longitudinal texture. Transverse textures (tining / grooving being the worst of these) produce the most noise. Longitudinal textures can be applied...
