When is the use of the horn prohibited?

The use of the horn is prohibited between 11:30 pm and 7:00 am in a built-up area because this time frame is generally recognized as a noise-sensitive period, particularly in residential neighborhoods. During these hours, many residents are likely to be sleeping, and the use of a horn can cause disturbances and lead to complaints. The intention behind this regulation is to promote a peaceful environment during the night when people expect reduced noise levels.

This prohibition helps ensure that drivers are considerate of pedestrians and local residents, maintaining a sense of community and minimizing disruptions. In general, the rules surrounding horn use are designed to promote safety and respect for others on the road and in their homes.
