In a recent announcement, Cambodian Prime Minister has ordered a ban on musical horns in vehicles to address safety concerns arising from people dancing on roadsides to the tunes played by passing trucks. The Prime Minister emphasized the need to maintain public order and prevent potential traffic hazards caused by such activities.
The ban was prompted by videos circulating on social media showing individuals, particularly youth and children, engaging in inappropriate behavior by dancing on the roadside to the musical sounds emitted by truck horns. The Prime Minister expressed his concern over the risks posed by such actions, highlighting the dangers to both the dancers and other road users.
The Prime Minister directed the Ministry of Public Works and Transportation, along with law enforcement agencies, to take immediate action against vehicles equipped with tune-playing horns. He instructed authorities to remove these non-standard horns and replace them with traditional honking devices to ensure compliance with the new regulation.
While the ban has already been enforced by provincial authorities, the Prime Minister underscored the importance of nationwide implementation to curb the trend of dancing in the streets to musical horn beats. He emphasized the need for collective efforts to maintain road safety and uphold public order.
The Prime Minister's decision reflects the government's commitment to safeguarding the well-being of citizens and promoting responsible behavior on the roads. By prohibiting musical horns in vehicles, Cambodia aims to prevent potential accidents and ensure a secure environment for all road users.
As the ban takes effect, Cambodians are urged to refrain from engaging in activities that could jeopardize their safety and that of others. The government's proactive measures seek to create a culture of road safety and responsible conduct among the populace.
