Strange attempt to reduce honking
Information
Video published by FCB Interface Communications
In Mumbai, India, an experiment was set up to try to reduce the noise pollution caused by impatient drivers honking at red lights.
As in other cities, especially New York, drivers become crazy honkers, even when there is no reason to honk, when the light is red and everyone has to wait anyway. Some simply cannot help pressing that noisy button...
Over time, this lack of basic courtesy inevitably overloads the city with noise pollution.
To address the problem, Mumbai set up a simple system: whenever a certain decibel level is exceeded, the red light is reset and its countdown starts again from 0.
The whole setup includes a sign warning the more attentive drivers not to honk.
Aside from the huge traffic jams this must generate, I would be curious to know whether honking becomes less common over time.
