Rerouting traffic noise is local remediation, not holistic solution

Evidence

Noise redistribution and noise reduction are two different strategies for managing traffic. To create a quiet area in a city is possible by removing traffic, but such traffic may create congestion elsewhere, and increased noise, so in terms of overall noise impact on the city the redistribution of traffic is a local remediation but not a holistic solution strategy. — Almo Farina, Soundscape Ecology, 2403
