"Noise barriers are an essential element of modern urban infrastructure today. They help minimize traffic noise near public transportation stops, parks, and densely populated areas. This year, over four thousand square meters of these structures have been replaced," said Pyotr Biryukov.

In particular, noise barriers were updated on sections of the Moscow Ring Road (MKAD), the Moscow High-Speed Diameter, the Third Transport Ring, Varshavskoe, Leningradskoe, Mozhaisk Highways, and a number of other highways.

When replacing noise barriers, consider the city's unified style. Only gray panels of a standard size are used, simplifying repairs and reducing maintenance costs. The height of the barrier depends on the noise level. When choosing the height, factors such as distance to residential buildings, terrain, and traffic congestion are taken into account. For example, the height of structures along the Moscow Ring Road is approximately eight meters.

Road services constantly monitor the condition of noise barriers. They are regularly cleaned and promptly repaired if damaged.
