CARRY ONLY ONE PILLION RIDER on your two wheeler. You must carry the rider only on the back seat. Do not
allow any rider to sit or stand in front of you (not even children).
SHARING THE ROAD is very important. Drivers should not forget that roads are not just for them alone. They must
understand that the road is for use of pedestrians, cyclists, scooterists and motor cyclists also who do not have solid
protections around them.
ALWAYS GIVE WAY TO PEDESTRIANS if there is danger to their safety. Take extra care if they are children or
elderly people. You must give way to pedestrians on a pedestrian crossing.
WHEN OVERTAKING you should do so from right of the vehicles you are passing.
DO NOT OVERTAKE if the road ahead is not clearly visible; if you know that the vehicle behind you has begun to
overtake you; if the driver ahead of you has not yet signalled to allow you to pass him; if a vehicle has stopped at a
pedestrian crossing, intersection or railway crossing.
WHEN BEING OVERTAKEN do not increase the speed of your own vehicle. This may create confusion and problem
for the driver trying to overtake you.
WHILE TAKING A U-TURN signal by hand the way you would for a right turn, observe the traffic behind you in
your rear view mirror at the same time.
STOP well before the stop line. This makes the zebra crossing safe for the pedestrians. You are allowed to turn left at
the red signal unless there is a sign specifically forbidding you to do so. When turning, yield the right of way to
pedestrians and vehicles from other directions.
BE ALERT when the Amber light is flashing as it gives time for vehicles to clear the road when the signal is changing
from green to red. If caught in the Amber signal in the middle of a large road crossing please do not press your
accelerator in panic but do continue with care.
GO if you are first in line, but do not go tearing off at the green signal but pause to see whether vehicles from other
directions have cleared the road or not.
IN CASES OF FLASHING AMBER SIGNAL you should slow down and proceed with caution.
