Vision barriers, also known as visual screens or sight barriers, are elements incorporated into noise barrier designs to address visual concerns while still maintaining the primary function of reducing noise pollution. These barriers aim to mitigate the visual impact of noise barriers on the surrounding environment and community.
Vision barriers are any environmental factors that make it difficult for people with low vision to see. Noise barriers are structures designed to reduce the transmission of noise from highways, industrial sites, or other noisy areas to surrounding residential or sensitive areas. While noise barriers effectively reduce the auditory impact of noise pollution, they can sometimes create visual impacts that affect the aesthetics of the environment and the overall visual experience for residents or passersby.
