force n thought of an invative idea since y were ‘itching’ to do something about it, giving birth to ‘punishing signal.’ y installed decibel meters to some of traffic signal poles and set it such a way that if honking ise went over 85 dB, signal would reset and red light stayed for longer.
motorists are n seen getting irritated when signal would keep resetting again and again. n-motorists are seen having an enjoyable time witnessing irritation of drivers.
