The article explores the evolution of car horns from their original purpose as safety devices to their current role as instruments of frustration and noise pollution in urban traffic. While they were designed in the late 19th century to alert pedestrians and other vehicles, many drivers now misuse horns for emotional expression during moments of road rage rather than for safety. This trend highlights a growing communication breakdown among drivers and reflects broader issues of urban noise pollution.
The car horn, initially designed for safety, has devolved into a tool for expressing frustration in urban traffic, highlighting a communication breakdown among drivers.
Instead of serving as a warning device, car horns are often misused in moments of impatience or aggression, failing to alert when it truly matters.
The surge in noise pollution from frequent horn honking reflects a shift from safety management to emotional expression within urban traffic environments.
Originally developed in the late 19th century to warn of dangers on the road, the purpose of car horns has dramatically changed over the decades.
