HELLO? YES, THE USE OF THE PHRASE "LAND USE" IN THIS ARTICLE IS VERY STRANGE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH SOMETHING MORE REASONABLE — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.74.2.178 (talk) 02:05, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

No definitions found for "offhaul"
Perhaps use a different word.

Caps
I remember seeing a program about soundwall design, which discussed the addition of a variety of devices to the top of the wall. Some looked like the capital of a column, others like horizontal louvers. I believe in all cases the idea was to inhibit refraction of the roadnoise off the wall top and down into the quietened space behind (making it refract off at a higher angle meant that quite space was larger). If someone can find anything about this (my initial google wasn't very promising) then that would make an interesting addition to this article. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 00:23, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Factor of 2?

 * "Generally a two to one ratio of berm cross sectional width to height is required. Thus, for example, to build a six foot high berm, one needs an available width of 24 feet."

Where did the extra factor of 2 come from? --Heron 20:31, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
