Single Roads (A-Roads and B-Roads)

As happens with motorways, single roads can disturb tranquillity to a high level due to the continuous traffic. Vehicles are an annoying element, but in the case of single roads, the number of vehicles per hour is lower than in motorways, therefore the influence is lower too. So the buffer distance utilized in this case is more narrow, it is 1 km wide.
As was done with motorways, the visibility map was calculated and the raster image in the map below shows from wich areas it is possible to see the A-Roads and B-Roads and from where it is not possible.
