Delhi Police – Traffic is running a campaign on pedestrian safety which was initiated on 1st June 09.  It is always safe to follow the Pedestrian Safety Tips. The tips circulated by Delhi Traffic Police for the pedestrian safety are:

  • Use Zebra Crossing, Foot Over Bridge & Subways to cross the road.
  • Always use footpaths and on the roads without footpath walk on your extreme right side facing the approaching traffic.
  • Don’t Jump over the railings or cross in front of or between parked vehicles.
  • Cross the road when the vehicles are at a safe distance.
  • Never cross the road hastily by running across the road.
  • Use Pelican Signals, if available. Wait for the Green Signal after pushing the pelican signal.
  • Don’t cross road from Blind Corners or Turns where you are not visible to the Vehicle Drivers.
  • Obey the traffic Lights like other Road Users such as vehicle drivers.

Purposeful Zebra crossing and Carriage way need corrections urgently
Light Single for Pedestrian should be installed.
Give safe space, confidence and right to Pedestrians.
Otherwise India is going to become Laughing stuff.
Refer to website of Delhi Traffic Police for corrections
