The European Directive 2002/49/EC on the assessment and management of environmental noise sets out a common approach for all Member States of the European Union to avoid, prevent or reduce as a matter of priority the harmful effects of exposure to noise in the environment. It has been transposed into French law by ordinance, ratified by the Law of 26 October 2005 and is now included in the Environmental Code. This approach is based on noise exposure mapping, population information and implementation of the Environmental Noise Prevention Plan (PPBE) at the local level. Articles L572-1 to L572-11 and R572-1 to R572-11 of the Environmental Code define the competent authorities to adopt noise maps and environmental noise prevention plans. As regards the major road and rail infrastructure of the national network, the noise maps and the PPBEs are adopted by the Prefect, in accordance with the conditions laid down in the circular of 7 June 2007 concerning the drawing up of noise maps and plans for the prevention of environmental noise and by the instruction of 23 July 2008. In the light of the circular of 7 June 2007 on the preparation of noise maps and environmental noise prevention plans, noise maps are to be drawn up for large infrastructure and in large agglomerations. The following are concerned: — roadways used by more than 8200 vehicles/d — railways with more than 82 train crossings/d — agglomerations with a population of more than 100 000 inhabitants
