摘要：	In order to assess the public attitude concerning traffic noise barriers, a questionnaire was distributed to householders living adjacent to four barriers. The locales studied were Rt. 17 in Ho-Ho-Kus, I-280 in Harrison, I-287 in Morristown, and the Garden State Parkway in Woodbridge. A total of 75 questionnaires were completed. Barrier construction, appearance, and placement were different from site to site, and the residential areas had disparate histories before the highways and/or barriers were constructed. Nevertheless, there was overall strong support for the barriers with regard to their effectiveness and appearance, and their positive effect on various activities engaged in by the people interviewed. However, only 48% of the respondents from Woodbridge and Morristown felt that the barriers at their locations provided at least a moderate reduction in noise. This was substantially lower than the overall average of 66%.
