Figure 1<strong>Noise</strong> Measurement Locationsfrom distant traffic along SR 24 was also apparent at the time of testing. Similarly, the local trafficnoise measured along Contra Costa Road at site ST-2 was intermittent, <strong>and</strong> distant freeways wereaudible. The location of ST-3 was selected to monitor noise levels along Broadway Terrace where itmerges with Golden Gate Avenue, just before the junction. While ST-3 was well shielded fromtraffic noise at the junction, some noise from nearby transformers was captured. <strong>Noise</strong> levels fromProctor Avenue were measured at site ST-4 where it intersects Agnes Street. Most of the local trafficat ST-4 consisted of automobiles, <strong>and</strong> two heavy-duty trucks were also monitored. The noise levelsmeasured at ST-5 included sparse local traffic along Harbord Drive <strong>and</strong> an overhead jet.
