you can disable the seat belt chime on every vehicle. it's usually something like putting the turning the key to acc or single pressing the start button to turn on the electics and then just plugging and unplugging the seat belt X number of times withing a certain time period and then shutting off the car and restarting it and presto no more seat belt chime. you can do the same thing with door locking, so it either sounds the horn on lock or does make a beep or no noise at all

this all happened when groupthink was: city=bad, suburb=good, car is king. when you approach the traffic congestion problem from that perspective those solutions were pretty standard at the time in the US. central artery and a beltway or a series of beltways is a well used template. of course in hindsight it's easy to criticize things when granularity of specific issues and circumstances surrounding all those projects has been lost to time.

im sure in 20 years when the seaport district has water lapping at the second floors of those new buildings someone is gonna be facepalming and calling us stupid and bad decision makers
