Streszczenia

In many regions of the world, urban areas are experiencing intensive development of pedestrian and cycling infrastructure. These changes have brought numerous transport, environmental, and economic benefits. However, detailed analyses and data are lacking regarding some negative aspects of using urban paths, such as noise exposure due to some technical solutions in road traffic. This study assessed the acoustic conditions along a shared pedestrian and bicycle path in a city (proximity to a road with heavy traffic). Sound levels were measured over 2 years. Basic statistical tools, including non-parametric tests, were used to assess the variability of sound levels and to compare various datasets. The analysis considered factors that may influence noise pollution levels, such as terrain features and technical transport infrastructure. The study showed a significant noise hazard (average 64.1 dBA, with extreme mean values of 53.4 dBA and 69.3 dBA), which increased in some parts of the path and at specific times. Higher risk was observed on steep slope (average 65.7 dBA), where car traffic slows down or stops. Acoustic conditions improved in July and August, that is, during the summer holidays (average 63.3 dBA). Noise levels were 1.3 dB lower compared to the months of work and school. Certain discrepancies were noted between the results of the conducted study and the noise levels shown on the city’s acoustic map. This arises from the differing methods used for data collection, analysis, and presentation. The current recreational function of the analysed space is not compatible with existing acoustic conditions. In a survey, nearly 60% of users expressed dissatisfaction. This requires the implementation of effective protective solutions, such as optimising the routing of bicycle paths and the locations of pedestrian crossings, improving traffic organisation and reducing vehicle traffic intensity.
