And when roads are noisy, they get noise screens to contain it.

While Dutch highways tend to have speed limits of 100-130 kph, the A-10 ring highway around Amsterdam has one section that's limited to 80 kph because it passed through a densely populated area of the city. There's big apartment blocks right next to the highway (and one offramp passes straight through a building), so traffic has to go slower to keep noise levels down.

If the US doesn't even do that, I think that tells you something about how much cars are prioritised over people.
