It is very important to tell other drivers what you are going to do. Do the following while:
Turning
Changing Lane
Slowing Down

Contd…

69. Effect of Speed:

Heavy vehicles are designed to perform best only when properly loaded.
So empty vehicle requires greater braking distance.

70. While Braking
While Stopping
Never stop suddenly, unless it is an emergency. Harsh braking could result in loss of control. Be particularly careful on a wet or slippery surface to avoid skidding.
If you have to brake in an emergency and the wheels lock up, do not panic. Ease the pressure off the foot brake to allow the wheels to turn, then brake again.
Always indicate your intention to stop
Slow down and pull over as close to the left of the road as possible before stopping.
Before opening doors, look behind and sideways to ensure that they will not endanger pedestrians or other traffic.
As far as possible, passen-gers should get down from the left side.

83. ISSUES IDENTIFIED IN THE PROCESS
The major issue identified in the process is the Parking problem. The indiscriminate parking of vehicles on the road side not only reduces the carrying capacity of roads but creates chaos and congestion affecting safety
Many big shopping complexes do not have cellar parking; and those who have cellar space , are using it for commercial purposes throwing the parking demand generated by them on to the streets
The road side shops attract lot of traffic but they do not have enough set back from road to accommodate the parking of their customers. The customers are forced to park their vehicles on the street

84. There are no public open spaces to provide for authorised parking for personal vehicles, auto rikshaws or trukcs
There is need for issuing a G.O for parking policy on similar lines has done for the road safety some of the points that can be considered in evolving such policy are:
Making Cellar parking provision compulsory for shopping complexes
Making shops / Hotels / Establishments responsible for providing parking to their customers
Encouraging private parties to use their open spaces for paid parking

85. To fixing up signage boards all types at appropriate places
Conducting awareness programme for accident
victims and accused
To fixing up signage boards all types at appropriate places
Installation of new signals wherever required
Construction of Road dividers
Society-Education through media
Caution- Through voice mail boxes at Junctions
Random checking weekly once with co-ordination with law and order
Using lanser speeding guns, serving notices
Introducing toffee system in private organisation, School, College, business establishments, corporation offices etc.,

86. Traffic Training Institutions
Traffic Control Room with modern equipment
Traffic Training Institutions
Introducing C C Cameras, Speed control cameras
Traffic Park – To be introduced in all resorts as
an amusement etc.,
Junction improvement, Road marking, Speed
breakers
Removal of Road obstructions, trees, electrical poles, hoardings, unauthorized encroachments
