Starting from November 1, 2023, all cars in Shenzhen will be banned from honking in a 24-hour citywide measure, with violators facing fines of 300 RMB. This strict ban has sparked numerous humorous suggestions from netizens, who propose that drivers revert to using their voices to signal, akin to how ancient people might communicate on the road. Videos of drivers roaring have gained popularity, leading to further discussion about how this new law might transform Shenzhen into a place where drivers constantly yell to communicate. Shenzhen's ban on honking, set to last five years, is part of a wider initiative to reduce traffic noise and improve road safety. Violations are punishable by a 300 RMB first-time fine, with subsequent offenses increasing to 500 RMB if repeated three times within a year. Some netizens have humorously suggested solutions, such as preparing portable sound systems in cars as backup, while others make fun of the policy by highlighting how it would make Shenzhen resemble the mythical setting of Huaguo Mountain where constant yelling could substitute for honking. The implementation of the 'no-honking' rule has sparked extensive debates online, with comments ranging from practical suggestions to playful responses. Examples include references to previous city-wide bans in other places, such as Jinan, where people bought hand-held whistles, or the idea of using a megaphone function on buses for shouting, and switching to bicycle bells. Some netizens support the move, thinking it should be implemented nationwide, while others point to earlier prohibitions in Shijiazhuang in 2007.
