New Regulations Mandate Horns As Loud On Inside Of Car As Outside
Tel Aviv (major city in Israel), March 8 - Automotive regulations scheduled to go into effect on the first of April will require that the volume of car horns in the interior of the car be of comparable or greater strength to its outside volume. The measure is aimed at reducing noise and the liberal use of the car horn.

"Noise pollution from honking cars is a major source of unpleasantness, especially in crowded urban settings," explained the ministry’s Deputy Director for Operations Tzopher Hazak. "This new requirement is the result of intensive committee work and analysis of the most efficient methods to reduce that noise pollution. This new rule will condition drivers to activate their horns only in life-threatening situations."
