Abstract	The purpose of this document is to establish a policy for noise abatement measures due to Highway Traffic Noise for Type I and Type II projects on highways of the State of Maine. A formal, written noise policy can assist in the management of the highway traffic noise analysis and abatement decision making process. It will allow for more uniform and equitable treatment of problems and issues and provide a rational basis for decision making. It will help the traffic noise analyst by serving as a reminder and a guide for management decision making and by documenting the decision making process to aid in answering questions raised by the general public and elected officials. This policy meets compliance with the Federal noise regulation, Procedures for Abatement of Highway Traffic and Construction Noise, 23 CFR 772 as well as with the reissued FHWA Policy and Guidance document dated June, 1995.
