There is a special rule to drive the vehicle systematically on the road. These rules have been made for the safety of the passers-by and to maintain order on the road.
We know them by the name of traffic rules. It is the responsibility of every passerby to follow these traffic rules. From time to time, campaigns are also run by the traffic police to make these rules effective.
Despite this, every day the vehicle drivers are driven by keeping the traffic rules in mind. Sometimes this happens even inadvertently because often people do not have complete knowledge about traffic rules. As a result, the driver not only puts his life as well as the lives of others at risk, but he also has to pay a fine.

Know the purpose of the three colors seen in the traffic signal:
Red Light Signal
Red light has a special significance in the signal. The speed of red color is fastest compared to other colors. This color can be seen from a much longer distance than other colors.
In addition, the red color is used in the signal to stop, to tell you that you are in danger of passing through a certain place in the expected time.
Red color signifies blood and violence, due to which it is used to stop traffic.
Yellow Light Signal
Yellow color is considered to be the center of energy, according to the traffic rules, through this color the driver is directed that you should get ready by gathering your energy.
The yellow light on the traffic signal means that now you start the engine of your vehicle, as well as control the area around the vehicle including the accelerator, brake, clutch.
When the traffic light of this color is lit, you can slow down your vehicle so that, when the signal turns green, you can proceed immediately.
Green Light Signal
The green color is the exact opposite of danger. As red color is used to stop vehicles, similarly green color is used to move vehicles forward.
Green means that the road is safe and clear for you and you can proceed with control of your vehicle.

If we look at the statistics, the cause of death of a person who dies every six minutes in India is a road accident. According to experts, as the population is increasing, the number of people killed in road accidents is also increasing.
It is estimated that by the year 2020, this figure will double, i.e. every 3 minutes a person dies due to a road accident.
In India alone, 10% of the deaths are due to road accidents as compared to the whole world.
Keep these things in mind while driving
- Never show haste by losing patience. Never cross the road by breaking the signal or running away after seeing the vehicle coming from the front.
- If turning right, take the middle of the road safely, then take the right. After taking a turn, drive the car back to the left side of the road.
- While taking a U-turn, give an indication and never take a U-turn from where U-turn is not allowed.
- Never drive in reverse or opposite direction in one way.
- If the indication and brake lights do not work, use hand signs until they are repaired.
- While getting down, get down only when the bus has come to a complete stop, never get off the moving bus.
- Do not walk while listening to songs by keeping the handset at high volume, because of this you will not be able to hear the sound of the car horn, etc.
- If you want to take a turn from the left side, then drive on the left side even after taking the turn.
- Do not cut-cross the lane, as if you have to turn left, do not take the risk of keeping the vehicle on the right and then turning left. Keep the car on the left from the start.
- Avoid blowing the horn unnecessarily, as the sound of the horn can cause the person walking around to lose control, which can lead to a road accident.
