The Workshop to develop a Roadmap to Quiet Highways was held April 10-12, 2006
Tire/Pavement Noise Strategic Planning Workshop: Proceedings and Roadmap.

The destination of the Roadmap for Quieter Pavement is a reliable design specification for pavements that are safe, durable, and cost competitive and that are substantially quieter than existing pavement over their entire design life. When this design goal is achieved, policy changes may be initiated to permit the use of quiet pavement as an alternative for noise mitigation.
