Traffic Awareness
Traffic rules of the roads are both the laws and the
informal rules that may have been developed over time to facilitate the orderly
and timely flow of traffic. With the replacement of ancient horse driven carts
with cars and trucks, the speed of the traffic increased paving way for the
need of smooth roads and yet smoother traffic. So, to curb the need of the
smoother traffic, some rules were devised to assure that the traffic runs
smooth. Almost all of the roadways traffic rules are built with devices meant
to control traffic. The basic idea to devise rules is to make the traffic more
organized. These establish a direct contact with the driver and help making the
ride easy and controlled by delivering information which compliments the laws,
guiding directions, speed limits and parking zones. All these efforts
collectively assure that traffic is orderly and safe. An organized traffic has
well established priorities, lanes flowing in particular directions. The
benefit is that it reduces the travel time. Some rules and regulations have
been formulated for an easy driving. The drivers are not allowed to drive
without a few documents. These documents should be produced on demand.
