What are the basic road safety rules to be followed in Goa?

Violation of road safety rules is a punishable offense in Goa. All categories of vehicles should follow the following basic traffic rules:

• Drive on the left side: Keep to the left side of the road while driving. If there are no dividers or lanes, let the traffic pass safely through your right.
• Overtake from the right: Always overtake from the right side after flashing the indicator or honking the horn. Avoid overtaking on the narrow lanes as it may jeopardize others lives.
• Respect traffic police:Never disobey or argue with the police offers. Bribing an officer is a punishable offense. Co-operate with the police to ensure smooth movement of traffic on the road.
• Respect traffic signals: Jumping the traffic signals can cause you a heavy penalty. If there are any pedestrians, wait for them to cross before moving your vehicle.
• Obey No Parking Signs: Never park your vehicle in the No Parking zone. Also, avoid parking on busy corners or in the middle of the road. Your vehicle can obstruct other motorists and cause accidents or chaos.
• Understand the road signs and markings: Every driver needs to understand and obey the markings and informatory signals on the road. These signs prepare/warn you of what lies ahead. They also indicate what you're allowed or not allowed to do while driving on the lane further.
• Make way for emergency vehicles:

  If you see emergency vehicles such as ambulances, police cars, fire engines trying to pass, make way for them. Blocking their passage may lead to loss of life/property. Therefore, it is considered a punishable offense.

• Carry relevant documents: A vehicle owner must always carry the following documents in his vehicle:
  • For all Vehicles: Drivers License, Registration certificate, Insurance certificate, and Pollution Under Control (PUC) Certificate
  • Only for Commercial Vehicles: Fitness certificate and tourist permits
• Honking: Honk only when necessary e.g while overtaking, changing lanes, or passing through a narrow lane. Do not blow horns in front of schools and hospitals.
• Adhere to the Speed Limits: Always adhere to speed limits both while driving within the city or on highways. Overspeeding or racing on the road may lead to accidental deaths.
• Use of lights: Use the side indicator lights while switching lanes or turning around. Also, use the fog lights and the emergency light in case of heavy rains or fog. This shall warn the other motorists to maintain a safe distance while driving.
• Do not use mobile phones while driving: Never use mobile phones while driving. In case of an urgent call, first, park your vehicle on the roadside and then use your mobile.
• Never drink and drive:Drunk driving is a punishable offense across India. It can cost you a very heavy fine, imprisonment, or a permanently suspended license. Before getting behind the wheels, make sure that the alcohol level in your blood is within permissible limits.
• A learner should be accompanied:A Learner should never drive alone. He must have someone with a valid driving license sitting beside the passenger seat.
• Prioritize pedestrians: Always let pedestrians cross the road first. Slow down your vehicle or stop if there is a zebra crossing ahead. Make way for school-going children and senior citizens.

Other safety rules for two-wheeler drivers in Goa:

• Only one pillion rider: Two-wheelers can have only two riders - one driver and one pillion passenger at the back. Motorcyclists and scooter riders are not allowed triple-riding.
• Wear safety helmets: Both the driver and the pillion rider must wear approved safety helmets for protection from a severe head injury. Wearing knee and elbow guards is also advisable.

Other safety rules for four-wheeler drivers in Goa:

• Always wear seat belts:Wearing seat belts is essential while traveling in a car. Besides the driver, other passengers should also wear seat belts to avoid injuries in case of unexpected jerks, sudden brakes, or mishaps. Children sitting in the back seat should also have a harness or belt.
• Use mirrors and indicators: Always adjust your rearview mirror before hitting the road. The rearview mirror, called the third eye of the driver, is very helpful while taking a turn, changing lanes, overtaking a vehicle, and reversing the vehicle. It is also a good practice to use indicators for the right turn, left turn, and parking/stopping.
