Every time I drive in Indore, I get a feeling that people are just used to habits that do not make any sense.

<strong>जब भी में इंदौर में ड्राइव करता हूँ तो लगता है की  छोटी छोटी आदतें ही हैं जो इंदौर के ट्रैफिक को सुधरने से रोक रहीं हैं.  ट्रैफिक  सिग्नल पर लाइट के हरा होते ही हॉर्न बजाना जरूरी है क्या?</strong>

In western world, you don't hear horns just to move when a light turns green. You only hear it if it has been a few seconds since the light turned green and you've not yet moved. You only hear a horn to avoid an accident. You only hear it if you are going to close to someone in the next lane or have someone in your blind spot.

In Indore, though, as soon as the time on the red light say 3..2..1...every one starts to honk restlessly as if the only thing that will make people move is the honking. Too much noise pollution, that can be avoided simply by making a change in your habit.

If the light turns green everyone will move. Trust me, no one is interested to sit at a signal and have their brunch. Everyone wants to move as soon as it goes green.

If I may urge Indore to just change one simple traffic habit, Do not honk, until it is required! That could save the city so much in noise pollution.

Unless you are in danger of hitting someone, or something, do not honk. Its so easy to change this habit! Just remember - honking is not going to get you anywhere faster. It is just going to cause more commotion, without any benefit.

If each of us can take this simple step and commit to not honk in Indore anymore, it will be a great day for all of us!
