A federal-financed survey showed Sunday that 38 per cent of those polled said the noise was keeping them awake. The study by urban design Professor Donald Appleyard of the University of California, supported by grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation and National Institute of Mental Health, said: Almost half of the 440 persons polled keep their windows shut because of traffic. Nearly one-third live in the rear of their homes because of the annoyance of passing vehicles. Children's safety while playing outside is regarded as a severe problem by half those surveyed.

And many forbid their youngsters to play in the street. A third of those questioned find their indoor conversations are bothered by the traffic. Even more are bothered by the noise while watching television. "Families are finding it In creasingly difficult to live in San Francisco. Many leave because of the schools; others leave because of landlords who will not allow children in the apartments they rent.

The city streets themselves may also be pushing people out," Appleyard said. Nearly half of The Netherlands is made up of a single huge delta of three rivers, the Rhine, Maas and Scheldt.
