The Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 is applicable to all motor vehicles operating on public roads throughout the country. The term "public road" refers to any road, street, highway, or other thoroughfare that is accessible to the public and maintained by government authorities.
So, to answer your question, Section 129 of the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988 would apply to all kinds of public roads including those which are 30, 60, and 90 feet wide.
