Summary/Abstract: Road noise is one of the main nuisance factors. Its negative impact mainly concerns resi-dential areas, which, located along transport routes, are exposed to spatial conflicts. Elimination of these conflicts requires spatial planning that integrates the economic, social and environmental spheres, which should be taken into account in planning studies shaping spatial policy in municipal-ities. The aim of this study is an attempt to assess the spatial-functional decision to locate a selected road project in the vicinity of an existing residential development in terms of road noise. In order to integrate the environmental and social spheres, a study of the acoustic annoyance of a selected road investment was prepared using direct acoustic measurements and a road noise perception study. A section of the Polish A1 highway was selected for the study.
