When your pine trees mature (if they are pine tress) it'll help somewhat, but I've known some areas that they've actually constructed layers of retaining walls to cut down noise levels from traffic.
I don't know what state you're in nor whether your kids are sensitive to the external environment... you might want to think about that too. Houses next to main roads always have more dust.... and I'd personally stay away from them.

They do look like pine trees and did you mean it'll help reduce the noise once mature?
I agree with you about the dust thing and i hoping the houses on our street will block some of that.
Although, I don't understand how it would be unsafe for the kids? We're not going to be directly on the main road. There are still houses to be built across the street from us/ There backyard will be up against the main road.
But thanks for the feedbacks! Keep them coming!
