India has a population of more than 1.3 billion, and there are many people and many cars, and the roads are full of traffic like this.
One of the myths that is believed in India is that sounding a horn will quickly turn it into a green light. The movie shows everyone honking their horns at once during the red light, and it can be understood that they are generating tremendous loud noise.

This sound level meter uses a microphone to detect sound ...
Displays the loudness of the sound.
Furthermore, when the display reaches 85 dB (DB) ...
Equipped with a mechanism that red light time returns to the initial value of 90 seconds.
The day after the signal was installed, Mumbai citizens continued to horn as usual.
However, the large chorus of horn was detected by the noise detection system. The time of the red light has been extended.
Drivers lean out of the car and check the situation without thinking, 'What is this ?!'
What these drivers saw was a message on the electric bulletin board beside the traffic light that said, 'If you sound your horn, you will wait more.'
As a result of talking about this display ……
The drivers stopped honking.
Some people protest the driver still honking.
Police officers touched each other and smiled.
`` The above experiment was conducted at several major intersections in Mumbai for 15 minutes a day, '' said Mumbai Police spokeswoman Pranay Ashok. And hopefully eventually bring it to national transportation networks. '
