In a bid to enhance road safety, the Gurugram Traffic Police have introduced an innovative approach to tackle lane-changing violations on highways. Drones are now soaring through the skies, keeping a watchful eye on errant drivers. Let’s take a closer look at this high-flying initiative:
1. The Sky Patrol: Gurugram Traffic Police recently launched a special campaign targeting lane-changing violations on the Delhi-Jaipur National Highway-48. Drones took to the skies as part of this operation. 🌤️
2. A Bird’s-Eye View: Drones equipped with cameras captured real-time footage of vehicles changing lanes without following proper procedures. 📷
3. The Numbers Game: During the campaign, a total of 6866 fines were issued for lane-changing violations. These fines amounted to a hefty sum of ₹58,09,600. 💸💰
4. Vehicles in the Spotlight: The fines were not limited to cars alone. A majority of them were issued to truck drivers (5797 fines), followed by private buses (518 fines) and school buses (211 fines). 🚚🚌🏫
5. Future Sky Patrols: The Gurugram Traffic Police plan to expand their drone-based enforcement in the coming weeks. More drones will be deployed to monitor traffic violations effectively. 🚁✈️
6. Appeal for Responsible Driving: The authorities have appealed to all transporters and educational institutions to instruct their drivers to strictly adhere to traffic rules, especially lane-changing regulations. 🚦📢
7. Stay in Your Lane: To improve road safety, heavy vehicles are advised to stay in the leftmost lanes, allowing faster-moving vehicles to pass without hindrance. Changing lanes without proper signaling is not only dangerous but can also result in fines. 🚛🛣️
By using drones to enforce traffic regulations, Gurugram Traffic Police are taking a step toward safer roads and more disciplined driving habits. Remember, it’s always best to follow traffic rules and stay in your lane for a smooth and accident-free journey.
