**2.2 Road type definition**

To define the street typologies in the town of Cuenca, the following road and urban characteristics (all of them with influence from the acoustic point of view) were taken into account:

	- Number of lanes of the street.
	- Average daily traffic (ADT)
	- Average daily speed (ADS)
	- Road width
	- Pavements
	- Main use of the street.

Based on the aforementioned characteristics, seven street typologies were established in this research:


• Type 7 (class 5): Completely residential streets. Only the people who live in these areas use these streets.

This street classification allows performing a categorization of the streets in a town based on their acoustics characteristics. Thus, measurements only in some streets of each category are needed, being possible to apply the noise profile obtained for each category to the rest of the streets in the same category during the noise map simulation phase. According to [16] these procedures only generate little deviations from strictly using only real measurement data for all the sampling points.
