road safety tips

Always walk on the footpath, walk on the extreme right hand side of the roads where the road does not have a footpath. Always be patient.

Cross the road using subways, foot-over bridges and zebra crossings. Or if nothing of these exist, look for a place to cross the road safely.

Cross the road only when the traffic light indicates green or if the Traffic Police signals you too. Always be vigilant at such traffic joints or intersections.

When crossing between vehicles parked on the side of the road, remember that you are invisible to the moving traffic so stop and look for a safe crossing zone. By this way the oncoming driver can see you and stop the vehicle when required. Running across the road is a bad idea, as you may slip and fall.

While waiting at the bus stand, always be in a queue. Do not rush in or push others and board the bus only after it has come to a halt.

While in bus, creating noise or shouting may distract the driver. Always be quiet and calm so that the driver drives the bus without any distraction.

Always wear a cycling helmet made of light thermocol while going for a ride, safety is always the first criteria. Arm bands and ankle bands are also favorable for professional riders.

Use the cycle lane wherever available, and never stop the cycle on the pedestrian crossing.

Don't overtake a vehicle while it is taking a turn, let the vehicle first pass.

Stop before entering a moving traffic, especialy from merging traffic, parking lot. Be cautious in such conditons since the traffic is free flowing and may cause accidents if we r negligent.
