Road Safety : Vehicles and Roads

Where U-turn is prohibited by road signs, On busy roads with continuous traffic, On main roads, highways or expressways, When crossing continuous white or yellow lines

U-turns are prohibited in several situations for safety reasons: where signs prohibit them, on busy roads, on main roads/highways, and where continuous road markings exist. Daytime hours do not restrict U-turns if other conditions are safe.

Only a person holding a valid driving licence for that vehicle

Only persons who hold a valid driving licence specifically for the type of vehicle they are driving should drive on public roads. This ensures they have been tested and certified as competent drivers.

Always on multi-lane roads

Heavy vehicles should always be driven on the left side of multi-lane roads. This helps maintain smooth traffic flow and allows faster vehicles to use the right lanes for overtaking.

Give proper directional signal in advance, Move to the appropriate lane in time, Check for pedestrians and other vehicles

Before turning, drivers must signal their intention clearly and in advance, move to the correct lane, and check for pedestrians and other vehicles to ensure safety. Loud honking or sudden turns without signaling are dangerous practices.
