About this video
What would a busy street sound like with fewer unnecessary horns? In India, citizens and campaigners have challenged the habit of honking through awareness drives and public participation. Their work treats quieter streets as a shared responsibility, with drivers, communities and public authorities all involved.
Mumbai Police also tried a memorable experiment: traffic-light countdowns reset when nearby noise rose above a set level, making impatient drivers wait longer. This episode explores how everyday habits and creative public campaigns can draw attention to noise pollution and encourage more considerate driving.
