🚦 2. Follow Traffic Signals and Road Signs
Traffic signals and road signs are there to guide and protect us. When everyone follows them, roads become safer and more organized.
🔴🟡🟢 What Do Traffic Lights Mean?
-
🔴 Red = Stop
You must stop your vehicle completely. -
🟡 Yellow = Wait / Slow Down
Get ready to stop or move carefully. -
🟢 Green = Go
Move ahead, but only after checking the road is clear.
🛑 Always stop behind the stop line, not on it.
🚧 Why Road Signs Are Important
Road signs give you important instructions about speed, turns, schools, hospitals, and more.
Some common signs:
- ⚠️ Speed Breaker Ahead
- 🚸 School Zone – Drive Slowly
- 🛣️ One Way – Do Not Enter from the Wrong Side
- 🚫 No Parking / No Horn
These signs help you stay alert and avoid accidents.
🇮🇳 In India, It’s Even More Important
Indian roads can be busy and unpredictable. That’s why following traffic rules is a must:
- Don’t jump red lights, even if the road looks empty.
- Slow down at zebra crossings and let pedestrians pass.
- Don’t ignore signs like “No Entry” or “No U-turn”.
✅ Safe Habits to Follow
- Look at signals and signs at every junction.
- Don’t follow the crowd—follow the rules.
- Teach others, especially kids and new riders.
