The article is devoted to the study of a possibility designating boundaries sanitary zones (distancing) for traffic arteries outside settlements within right-of-way. was conducted regarding current Russian laws, projects possible changes in legislation and draft amendments. It offers definitions right-of-way zone highlights topics that have not yet been regulated. At same time, research methods are universal character after introducing other regulatory parameters may be applied similar countries as well. Calculations field studies allowed find railway with existing train intensity, equivalent continuous sound pressure level aggregate does exceed established maximum permissible 80dBA personnel performing their labour functions rightof-way. A growth Leq/LAeq on from 80,0 95,0 dBA lead an increase hazard class (subclass). An analysis actual results special assessment working conditions at JSC Railways showed vast majority cases acceptability evaluated according noise factor measured workplaces employees during full or part-time shift Hazardous some subclasses certain professions (operator track measurement, worker) arise rather due indicators severity process.
