This Guy Made A Pedestrian Horn That Looks Weird But Works

Living in a big city can be frustrating because not only the streets are busy but the sidewalks are also crowded with pedestrians. Sometimes, it’s impossible to get people out of your way and crossing the road is dangerous because cars and buses don’t see you coming. That’s how Yosef Lerner came up with the Pedestrian Horn, an invention that’s meant to help those who walk for the daily commute, inspired by the most useful feature of the car – it’s horn.

To make use of this device, you need to wear a seatbelt strap around your neck to hand the steering wheel at the best height so that you can access the horn button quickly and easily. The inventor illustrates the usefulness of this device in a video shot in a busy city in the US, showing how it can get people to move out of your way.

The Pedestrian Horn was even listed on his personal website for sale at a price of $699 (Rs 50,122). This price tag may sound too high, but if you have been living in a big city for years, having to make your way through the busy traffic with people bumping into you, not noticing you’re coming, this device turns out a life-saver. It gets people stop whatever they’re focusing on to look and stay away from you unless you don’t like being stared at for one or two seconds.

However, Lerner then removed the product from selling, saying that he doesn’t want to add more noise to the city.
