- The city was a clear picture of the Roman life than with complete urban development which included excellent road systems, drainage and waste management systems, amphitheatres.
- There were paved streets with blocked stone pavements. There was huge traffic along the Pompeii roads due to a chariot or the wagon wheels travelling continuously to the taverns and other places in the city carrying people as well as goods and this triggered continuous noise pollution.
- The Pompeii streets were mostly one-way roads which also led the drivers to drive fast and made more noise. So to curb this excessive noise from the wheels, they were muffled with rags.
