NYC tried for over 30 years, and failed, to use signs to get people to stop honking. Unnecessary honking will still get you a $350 fine, though.

Signs aren’t sufficient. It needs to be enforced and it isn’t. These tickets are never given out and everyone knows it.

that sounds like an enforcement issue? China did the same in Shanghai in like 2008 and what felt like over night the horns stopped.

I just spent two nights in NYC (first time there; though I do live in a rural area, I'm not new to cities in general).

But man, there was a honk every two seconds down on the street outside my room, only slowing down for an hour or two around 3-4AM. I was floored.
