Traffic Do's & Dont's

Several Do's and Don'ts have been stated on the official Bangalore traffic police website. Make sure you follow these!

Guidelines to be followed by Two-Wheelers -

1. Leave the right lane for faster traffic by sticking to the left lane.

2. Stick to your lane - do not cross through traffic by changing lanes.

3. Never overtake from the left.

4. The pillion rider shall always wear a helmet to prevent head injury during accidents.

5. At traffic signals, do not push your way forward through any openings in the traffic

6. Keep your engine tuned - 2 stroke engines are massive polluters because of the carbon monoxide emissions

7. Never Overspeed! The time you gain by doing that is negligible.

8. Never use the horn unnecessarily.

9. Remember that the two-wheelers are most vulnerable on the road and in any collision, you are in more danger than any car or bus.

Guidelines to be followed by Car Drivers -

1. No driver should drive after drinking - it is not only a hazard to self but even to co-passengers and others on the road.

2. The driver and the riders sitting in front shall always wear seat belts to avoid any potential catastrophe.

3. If each and every vehicle is jostling for advantage - the result would be a mess out of which no one can get out, hence, giving way to traffic on your right at junctions.

4. Horns should never be used unnecessarily. They should be used only to avert danger. Honking without reason only leads to increasing in noise pollution thus making driving a tiresome activity, with hardly any difference to your progress.

5. Never overspeed or jump traffic lights. The time gained is never worth risking your life and limb.

6. The exhaust fumes cause air pollution and thus endanger health. Vehicles should be kept in good condition to minimize this damage to the environment and health.

7. Always show courtesy and consideration to pedestrians, cyclists, and two-wheelers.

Additional Do's and Dont's for all-

1. Dip your headlights when another vehicle is approaching.

2. Drive slowly in times of rain and fog.

3. Give way to traffic on your right.

4. Get your emission test periodically

5. Always allow space for vehicles for a free left turn, especially at junctions.

6. Slow down while taking a curve.

7. Never decorate your vehicle with garlands and decoratives as they act as a restriction to your vision and also divert the attention of other drivers.

8. Always carry your original driving license and registration certificates.

9. Never use headlights on well-lit roads.

10. Never use full beam headlights on city roads.

11. Do not park in no-parking areas.

12. Never park more than 15 cms from the pavement.

13. Every driver of a motor vehicle shall ensure free passage if and when approached by a fire service vehicle or an ambulance. This should be done by drawing to the side of the road.

14. Never take a U-turn where it is especially prohibited and on busy traffic roads.

15. No load or other goods is to be placed on any motor vehicles resulting in masking or otherwise interrupting vision of any lamp, registration mark, or other mark which is required to be carried by or exhibited on any motor vehicle by or under Act.

16. Never drive a vehicle in the reverse direction into a road specified as “ One Way” .

17. Abrupt breaks should never be applied, unless completely necessary to do so for safety reasons.
