We're working on it but progress is so slow and halting. There was Times Square, then Herald Square, and now just this past year we're seeing removal of most vehicles from 14th St and a temporary removal of vehicles around Rockefeller Center for the holidays. Progress is still way too slow though. I'd love to see Broadway being fully pedestrianized from Columbus Circle down to at least Union Square; imagine how transformative an effect that would have on the city. (And tourists would love it!)

A honk is also the sound a road makes when it stretches to accommodate your car between two cars that don't appear to have enough space.

I live in Manhattan too. "Just suck it up" isn't the correct response. You even admit that it's annoying, so why roll over and resign yourself to it? One asshole with a loud horn making lots of noise on the streets at night can easily wake up hundreds of people. How is this remotely acceptable? It has a real measured public health burden. We can and should do better; getting proper sleep is important.

And by the way, the vast majority of horn use is illegal.
