In residential areas, what is the proper use of the vehicle horn?

In residential areas, the horn is a safety tool. It should be used only to alert others to a potential hazard or to prevent a collision. Using it to greet neighbors or to express frustration creates unnecessary noise, can scare people, and isn’t considered appropriate or safe behavior. If there’s no danger, keep the horn quiet. So the best practice is to use the horn solely to warn of danger and avoid unnecessary honking in residential areas.
