Ever been impatient at red traffic lights? Well, in
Mumbai you’d better not have a short tamper and
start using your horn extensively. In Mumbai there
are traffic lights that measure the loudness.

If the loudness goes beyond a certain level, the traffic light resets the green phase counter and you have to start over with waiting.

This is an initiative to lower the loudness on certain roads caused by extensive usage of car horns.

The aim is to sensitize drivers to the fact that excessive honking is a massive noise nuisance and does not really help.

Watch the modified traffic lights in action and the drivers’ reactions:

You honk more? You wait more! – The message is clear!
