Stamford is a great town to walk in. However, there is one issue that is annoying to me and my fellow travelers. Horn honking. Based on my observations 99% of horn honking is unnecessary and downright obnoxious
The other day I had three honking incidents. The first one involving me. I waited for the light to turn green and started walking. The lead car was turning left and was waiting for me to cross the road to turn. The driver in the second car started to honk the horn not knowing I was crossing the street. I hear this horn action all the time.
The second incident was at Bedford and Forest. A car was blocking another car from turning into Forest. They laid on the HORN for at least twenty seconds. It did no good at all. The car on Forest Street couldn’t move.
The third horn incident was sad and ironic. I was waiting on Broad Steet for the light to change to cross the intersection. The second car honked at the first car to make a right on red. Finally, the car turned right, and the honker followed the car and almost hit the car crossing the intersection. The driver was too angry to look and see if it was clear to make a right on red.
I wish I could say this day was unusual. Sadly, it is not.
