On Monday April, 7 all of us driving vehicles will have to observe No Honking Day as per Mumbai Traffic Police. Mumbai has 1.5 million vehicles. The permissible decibel limit of horns is 90-100 decibels. As per the Motor Vehicles Act, motorists in Mumbai can be fined for using the horn needlessly. Generally, Silence Zones in the city cover 100 meters from each of these places: educational institutions, hospitals, courts and residential zones.
Experts say that continuous hearing of the honking harms the ear. Doctors estimate that 50 percent of cases of impaired hearing are because of noise pollution.
