10. QUIET AREAS IN LITHUANIA  Councils of municipalities are obliged to determine (adopt) quiet areas (by official decision (legal act) of the municipality council)  Administrations of municipalities are obliged to monitor noise within quiet areas  3 types of quiet areas:  quiet area in an agglomeration (adopted in 2 of 4 agglomerations, the rest 2 agglomerations adopted quiet public areas)  quiet area in open country (adopted in 37 of total 60 municipalities)  quiet public area (adopted in 57 of total 60 municipalities)
