Fewer cars, less noise.
I am frequently annoyed by the sounds of cars and trucks that disrupt my daily walks.
It’s glaringly disruptive to any conversation when horns and mufflers putput past me.
Congestion pricing taxes drivers coming to midtown by car. The goal is to use the fees to support public transportation. It also cuts down on the traffic and the noise it brings.
Leaning on the horn as I pass in front of your vehicle will likely lead to a minor confrontation.
I say “minor” because my days as a rage-aholic are behind me. Lucky you.
These days, the honk will only cause me to turn, raise a hand, and slow my pace a bit. It’s already slow, so you’re in for a treat. You might lose another minute at that corner.
Our friend Arline (aka Ask Arline) Branzhart is quoted on the honk issue in this recent NY Times article. Check it out, by all means.
