When I first started commuting they honked all the time. Now, I dont think I ever hear one. I think locally they are more used to having bicycles around and I am good at ignoring stuff. It's a little off topic but there are so many fine points that can make a big difference in commuting. If people honk at me are are coming too close it is because I am too far to the right, the dont realize I have the right to the lane, they can come close to fitting through then they try too. So take the first tire track and stay there, motorist seem to do better with that than a bike that is too far right. Another thing I noticed last year during the hot part. I sometimes have calf cramps when it is real hot out, aggravated by sitting at a light for a long time on my toes. So I started pulling over close to the curb, that extra few inches made it a lot more comfortable. What started happening was the motorist would right hook me all the time because I looked like I pulled over and stopped I guess. I quit doing it and the right hooks from stopped stop immediately.
