Reversing beepers should be outlawed in favour of safer

Reverse beeping is unsafe safe and noise pollution. They have been outlawed in New York city. We should do the same. White noise reverse alarms only make noise when you are behind the vehicle and are close enough, most also adjust volume based on ambient sound. The reverse beepers, do not trail off well with distance and reflect off walls leading them making sound in all directions and far from where they are needed. This leads to people ignoring them when actually needed (alarm fatigue). White noise alarms stay where the danger is and let workers gauge distance and everybody else remain free from the noise.
