Mapping fault-zone properties is crucial for mitigating seismic hazards, particularly in urban settings. This process often requires high-resolution seismic imaging, which depends on dense data coverage and high-frequency seismic energy sensitive to shallow structures, with traffic noise providing an ideal source.
