In the first place we should cross the roads only at the crossing marked on the road. There are white paralleled lines at intervals. As for as possible we must cross only between these lines. There are also traffic constables on duty at road crossing. Wait for his signal before you cross. Where there are footpaths, we must walk only on the footpaths. Where no footpaths arc to be found, walk to the extreme right near the verge of the road, away from traffic. Most of the Street accidents arc due the lack of road sense among the people.

Whatever, the vehicle you are driving you should keep left if you are moving slowly. If you wish to overtake another you must overtake it only on the right, you should never try overtaking a vehicle on a bridge or in a narrow street. There are various traffic Posts carrying certain “No U-turn,” No Entry”, “School Drive Slowly’, Main Road Ahead”, and son on. These instructions should be carefully followed.
