A study was conducted in Peshawar city to find out the noise level at 5 selected road crossings viz: Spin Jumat, Suikarno Square, Qissa Khwani and Firdos Cinema. The results of the study indicate the average noise level at these points is 84 dB(A). Spin Jumat is the worst affected crossing with reference to noise pollution with average noise level at 86 dB(A). The average noise level of other 4 sites ranged between 82-84 dB (A). It is concluded that the noise level in Peshawar city has crossed the permissible limits. Due to high level of noise, traffic controlling staff, pedestrians and people living and working along the roads are liable to be affected by noise induced physiological and psychological health hazards. To overcome this problem, the existing motor vehicles rules should be strictly implemented through the coordinated efforts of traffic police and Environmental Protection Agencies. Trees and shrubs planted in track belts along the roads with a dense foliage can also attenuate traffic noise effectively.
