TRAFFIC RULES

(FOR PEDESTRIANS ONLY)

Let us Discuss the TRAFFIC RULES for pedestrians only, that too in India only.

If one is offended being called pedestrian, let us call him rider of bus No 11.

As per Indian traffic rules, one has to move on the left side of the road.

Now we have to consider the present situation of roads & traffic.

Number of vehicles (with 4-wheel) are more on the road in India, in comparison to so many developed countries. May be percentage could be less, but they are much more in number.

·    All the auto vehicles discharge the discarded fumes from back. We know very well the standard of vehicle maintenance in our country, so the discharge is much more polluting than what it should be.

·    The width of roads in city & towns, in India are more suitable for cycles & rickshaws.

·    The roads do not have walkways for pedestrians. And if they have; walkways are merged in the main road & used by the main traffic.

·    If a pedestrian in walking as per the traffic rules (left side), he is walking on the road with the fast moving traffic & listening the horn like, other vehicles at the back. In turn he has to give the way to the following traffic.

·    At the same time inhailing fumes, exhausted by the vehicles (moving in same direction).

If the pedestrian (only), start walking on the other side (right) of road i.e, in opposite direction of the moving vehicles; following will be advantages.

1.     If someone hits, the victim shall see the face of culprit & recognize him in the other world (haven).

2.    He will not come in way of the faster moving vehicles, so no one will have to honk.

3.            He will automatically adjust himself against upcoming vehicles as it is visible. The same will be true for the vehicle (coming from other side) also.

4.    He will not have to inhale fumes directly, coming straight out of exhaust.

5.    The pedestrian & the vehicle drivers both shall find convenient to use the road.

I suggest one should try walking against the traffic & see advantages & convenience himself.
