    This is basically tying every immobilizer or alarm to a car horn. Now all you hear is horns all fucking day and night because every car has one.

    If I lived near one there is no way that road would exist for more than a week. Things like this should be banned, in perpetuity.

    Whoever came up with the concept should not be allowed to make further decisions in life.

      They tried to place them as far from villages as possible for the first one. You can see in the video, the guy had to bike to the middle of nowhere to record it. The problem first appeared in countrywide news after the 3rd one, because that’s much more closer to some residential buildings.

      Hungary is not a classic democracy, if you are not a friend of a local oligarch you can’t really do anything about things like this. If they decided about it at the HQ it will happen whatever it takes.

      I think the original concept is not inherently bad, you just need careful planning and sound simulations. Current tech can simulate sound waves very precisely. Maybe such a small country doesnt need 3 of these, they should have stopped after the 1st or 2nd one
