The introduction of congestion pricing in Manhattan has resulted in a surprising benefit: a decrease in complaints about car honking. Analysis of 311 service data reveals that between early January and early March, the two environmental noise cameras in the area issued no horn-honking summons, down from 27 in the same timeframe last year. This decline indicates that congestion relief measures may not only improve traffic flow but also enhance the quality of life by reducing urban noise pollution, as noted by Juliette Michaelson from the MTA.
