How Mumbai Police is Making Signals

'Welcome to the honking capital of the world,' Mumbai Police's Twitter account posted while sharing a video to promote the anti-sound pollution initiative.
 

 
 

Anyone who has traveled within the city of Mumbai can vouch for the terrible condition of traffic and the severe sound pollution caused by honking horns. But no more.
 
In a bid to teach Mumbai commuters a lesson and to stop them from honking unnecessarily in signals, Mumbai Police have introduced the 'Punishing Signal'. After all will honking really turn the signal to green faster?
 
In a short video released by the Mumbai Police on Twitter, the police is seen installing decibel meters to certain signal poles around the city to keep a check on noise pollution. If the decibel levels went beyond 85db, the singla would reset and stay red for longer.
 
The nearly two minute video starts with, "Welcome to the honking capital of the world. Here people honk even when the signal is red. May be they think by honking, they can make the signal turn green faster?"
 
They went on to say, "We, the Mumbai Police were itching to do something about this."
