Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
Ministry of transportation India stated that he would make new rules regarding the use of horns which are currently causing noise pollution. Voice horn in India it is said that it is likely to be transformed into something like a musical instrument.
according to LokmatIndia’s Minister of Transport, Nitin Gadkari, said the regulation on the matter would soon be finalized and addressed directly to manufacturers making new vehicles.
Gadkari shared his experience with horn noise pollution in India.
“I live on the 11th floor in Nagpur. I do pranayama [latihan yoga untuk pernapasan] for an hour every morning. But the horn disturbed the morning silence. After this matter, the thought came to my mind that the vehicle horn should be used properly,” he said.
“We have started to think that the sound of a car horn should be an Indian instrument and we are working on it. The sound of instruments such as tabla, percussion, violin, trumpet, flute should be heard from the horn,” he said again.
Cartoq explained that there are various no-honking zones on Indian roads, but most drivers do not comply. According to the rules that apply there, the noise of the horn should not exceed 112 dB.
The honking noise pollution is said to be a big problem in many cities in India and has caused various problems among the people.
Gadkari’s solution is considered unlikely to solve the problem, but it could make the horn sound problem less annoying than it is today.
The horn on the vehicle is basically a device that makes a sound as a means of communication between drivers on the road. However, the use of the horn may vary in each country due to cultural adjustments.
Drivers in India use the horn a lot for various things, such as greeting, informing the position, admonishing other drivers, and also as a mitigation measure. The use of horns in India is also popular because there is another custom that car or truck drivers prefer to fold the mirrors to avoid collisions.
While in Indonesia, the horn is used for example when you want to overtake or before entering an invisible intersection.
Whatever the need, the horn should be used ethically and as needed to avoid disturbance or conflict in the surroundings.
