What are traffic rules?

I feel like both pedestrians and the drivers should be disciplined and obey all the rules and regulations. So, I request every citizen of this country to follow these do’s and don’t listed down below for pedestrians and drivers, respectively.

DO’s for pedestrians:

• DO walk in a straight line down the sidewalk.
• DO stop at crosswalks and pay attention to the signals.
• DO pay attention to your surroundings when walking, especially at night and alone.
• DO take the time to enjoy your walk even if you are in a hurry… look around and see.
• DO smile if you happen to make eye contact with another human being.

DON’Ts for pedestrians

• DON’T stop randomly on the sidewalk without checking that people are right behind you.
• DON’T jaywalk without looking.
• DON’T wear headphones and have your music turned up so loud you can’t hear what’s happening on the street.
• DON’T cut across the sidewalk to get to a shop or something without looking behind you.
• DON’T walk into things while your head is down looking at your phone… trust me, it happens!

DO’s while driving

• Do always wear a helmet while riding a 2 wheeler.
• Do always wear a seat belt. ±Do follow the speed limit.
• Do be courteous towards other drivers and riders.
• Do give pedestrians the right-of-way in crosswalks.
• Do make room for bicycles. ±Do pay attention while driving, even if you are familiar with the area. A surprising number of accidents take place only blocks away from home!
• Do use indicators.
• Always keep to the left.
• Do keep a safe distance.
• Do always carry the important papers and your driving license.

DON’Ts while driving

• Don’t drive alcohol and drive, and don’t get in a car with a driver who has been drinking or using drugs.
• Don’t talk on your cell phone and drive at the same time. If you need to make or answer a call, pull over at a safe place and then resume your journey.
• Don’t let your emotions and frustrations get the best of you. Don’t engage in road rage, no matter how irritating another driver might be to you.
