The city may be giving up the fight against horn honking.

Department of Transportation crews have been removing signs that warn drivers against unnecessary honking.

The $350 fine is still on the books but the law is so rarely enforced the city has decided to remove the signs in an effort to reduce clutter.

A spokesman for the DOT says 311 complaints about unnecessary honking have decreased by 63 percent over the last five years.
