List of traffic rules that will be enforced step by step

(Rules and order in which they will be enforced are subject to change depending on discussions with DCP-Traffic from time to time)

1. At red signal, stop before stop line (stopping before zebra stripes is not enough).
2. There is no free left turn at signals (we will also have to tell people that this rule exists all over India).
3. 1-way, no entry rules.No driving on wrong side & also on footpaths, including “for just a few feet” while turning right or to escape traffic jam as many people do.
4. Do not use mobile while driving, not even in hands free mode.
5. Do not cut corners while turning right.
6. Honour zebra stripes even at places without signals. Pedestrians have a right of way at zebras.
7. Must use directional blinkers or hand signals before turning.
8. Correct use of headlights: must use headlight after sunset/ before sunrise, never use high beam (“upper”) in city.
9. Use correct lane for turning, beginning with signals.
10. Parking rules, including: a) No parking on footpaths, b) do not seat a "driver" in the driver's seat when the vehicle stands in a no parking area.

Give right of way to Ambulance and Fire Brigade. While driving if you hear the siren of an Ambulance / Fire Brigade, please make sure that you do not come in its way.
