Obey traffic rules

Traffic rules are one of the most important things in roads and highways. There are many things to follow in the street such as zebra crossing, lights, speed control and other things. If we minimize the traffic jam if all things are duly followed. And, traffic police are always there in the street. We should implement their command and instructions to make all of us disciplined.  First, people should cross the roads from zebra crossing because it helps to control accidents. When people cross the road, vehicles should provide them time. All of us know, there are certain lights such as red, green and yellow and they have different messages to them. Red means we should stop, yellow means either we have to prepare to go or we can go carefully.  Similarly, there is the issue of speed control. We should fix speed limitations  and we have to control them. On highways, there are speed rules that should be followed. As a student, we should create awareness about the traffic rules. If need be, you should voluntarily help the traffic in the street. If we make a habit of rules from childhood, it will be good in the future.  We have seen a lot of traffic accidents and the only way to correct them is to implement the traffic rules strictly.  Prabesh Bhattarai Class: 6 Global Pathshala, Kausaltar
