As the Delhi High Court hiked traffic fines on Monday, it allowed tinted glasses only for VIPs and individuals who need protection. The court created a special security committee led by the additional commissioner traffic to screen such cases.

Another significant direction of the bench was a ban on public parking in the Lutyens’ Zone. To enforce this order, the court asked the state government to provide parking facility in India Gate and begin a feeder bus service from India Gate to various roads of Lutyens’ Zone.

Blueline buses will now have to adhere to guidelines laid down by the court. The court fixed a minimum educational qualification of 10+2 for drivers and 10th pass for conductors. ‘‘All drivers shall wear uniform with their name plate and employee number visible on it. No driver of public transport will smoke or speak on while driving and they will be on a twoyear probation period before being inducted,’’ the court added.

Earlier ban on smoking or speaking on for public transport drivers reasserted Lane driving to be made more effective by painting red and yellow marks on the road. Traffic bars to be put to divide the road and ‘no overtaking zones’ to be specified HC bans beacon light on vehicles except those granted permission by government Speed limit inside the city for light vehicles will be 45-50km/hr and for heavy vehicles 35-40km/hr Musical horns, pressure horns banned by HC Until advent of smart cards, licenses to be punched for each traffic offence and to be impounded after five offences Low floor buses to be introduced in the city Removal of all hoardings at traffic signals within a month.

Feeling great after reading this news.. and I hope the pattern of driving in Delhi will change certainly after the implementation of new traffic fines. If Delhi traffic police can restrict blue line bus drivers to obey traffic rules then I am very much sure that the problem of rash driving in Delhi can be solved very much.

Oh good work manoj…Apni problem apni language mai….

Congrats to Honorable Delhi High court for their historical order. Now its traffic police turn. Let’s see will cops be able to issue heavy traffic challans or will they hike their bribe?

NOW

Why?

It is not a question of laws lacking the teeth. It is the lack of implementation of such laws. One you can’t implement the existing laws, and can’t produce the results, you feel that more strict laws are required. But, the new law also meets the same fate, because there is no implementation.

Increasing fines is the only way to stop people from breaking rules??? No… The solution is to stop on the spot challans and send them home.

Better enforcement of traffic laws and monitoring traffic rules violation on roads is more important rather than hike in fines. The fear of being caught discourages most people from violating the rules. When people see others getting caught then they will start to follow rules themselves.

You can conduct a survey to ask people why they wear helmets then most of them will say that the fear of getting caught not for safety purpose.

Heavy fine is ok….But driving in India is certainly not for the timid. It is a cacophony of honking combined with heat, dust and unbelievable crowds. I noticed that the red stoplights in Delhi do not say, “Stop.” in its place they flash the word, “Relax.”
