Since the traffic police are usually busy during the peak hours in ensuring a smooth flow of traffic, the cops are not able to keep a check on the riders riding on the footpath. The latest move by the traffic Police indeed deserves an applaud and the traffic police department of more cities should implement the same. Footpaths are meant to be used by the pedestrians only and two-wheeler riders should not use the said pathways irrespective of how tight the traffic is. Riding on footpaths can be dangerous for both, the rider and the pedestrians.
Also, if one of the two falls on the road due to a mishap, he or she is also in the danger of being hit by a vehicle. Express Drives urges its readers to ride responsibly and always follow traffic rules and regulations to ensure safety on the roads. Stay tuned with us for more such updates!
