In a proactive step to enhance road safety, traffic police personnel across the city carried out a comprehensive drive to clean and maintain traffic equipment and signboards within their jurisdiction areas. The initiative aimed at ensuring that all traffic signs are clearly visible to motorists and pedestrians, thereby reducing confusion and the risk of accidents. During the drive, officers cleaned accumulated dust, grime, and other obstructions from traffic signs and signals. In addition, they adjusted the positioning of certain signboards to ensure maximum visibility from a distance. Officials also checked for damaged or faded signs and reported them for immediate repair or replacement.
Motorists welcomed the effort, noting that clear and well-maintained traffic signs are crucial for following traffic rules effectively, especially at busy junctions and high-traffic zones. When signs are visible and readable, it helps drivers make timely decisions and avoid accidents, said one commuter. Traffic authorities emphasized that this maintenance drive is part of ongoing efforts to improve overall road discipline and safety in Bengaluru. They also urged citizens to cooperate with traffic police and report any damaged or obscured signs so that corrective action can be taken promptly.
Officials noted that while such measures may seem minor, they play a significant role in reducing accidents and promoting a culture of disciplined driving. Regular maintenance of traffic infrastructure, combined with awareness among road users, is expected to improve traffic flow and ensure safer roads for everyone. Through such initiatives, Bengaluru’s traffic police aim to create a safer and more organized commuting environment for both drivers and pedestrians.
