What are the fundamental road safety rules in Karnataka?
Here are a few basic traffic rules that all vehicle drivers must follow:
Drive on the left: Keep to the left side of the road when driving. Allow traffic to pass safely through your right if there are no dividers or lanes.
Overtake from the right: After flashing the indicator or honking, always overtake from the right side. Avoid trying to overtake on narrow lanes as it may endanger the lives of others.
Respect traffic signals: Do not disregard traffic signals, as doing so can result in severe penalties. Be extra cautious if there are any pedestrians nearby.
Respect 'No Parking' Signs: Never park in a 'No Parking' zone. Also, avoid parking at busy intersections or in the middle of the road, where your vehicle could impede other drivers and cause accidents or chaos.
Understand and obey road signs and markings: Every driver must understand and obey road markings and informatory signals. These signs prepare you for what is to come. They also imply what you are and are not permitted to do while driving in the lane.
