This is great in idea but do seems like a gimmick. Do you honestly believe everyone on that road can read your sign posted in English ? I can judge this because I am from Bombay. After few min, crowd will just ignore the traffic light and take off. I really hope this works though ! Its insane how bay the noise pollution is.
- tgsovlerkhgsel 7y agoNo, but I assume most can read the numbers? People are good at seeing patterns. The countdown timers seem well-established so people know what they are. The decibel meter is probably something people will figure out quickly (number goes up when noise goes up). The reset is something people will definitely figure out quickly - bottom number goes over 85, countdown resets. Are there no fines for ignoring traffic lights? Since this is deployed to only a few traffic lights, seems like handing out a bunch of fines to everyone ignoring the light once or twice should be enough for a sufficient number of drivers to stop ignoring it.
- zaptheimpaler 7y agoWord of mouth and media coverage like this (which other papers will report in Hindi/Marathi as well) is probably enough to propagate the message to almost everyone within a few weeks. Hoping it works!
