Road Safety Rules and Regulations in Pune 

As is the case with every other Indian State, road safety violations are taken seriously in Pune, and all types of vehicles need to adhere to the traffic rules. Here are the basic traffic rules you need to follow in Pune: 

1. Keep left

Stick to the left side of the road, allowing vehicles on your right to pass smoothly

2. Overtake from the right

If you need to overtake another vehicle, make sure to use your indicators and pass from the right side of the road

3. Follow traffic signals

Traffic signals are crucial for the smooth flow of traffic and pedestrian safety. Always obey these signals, stop at red lights, and wait for pedestrians to cross before you proceed

4. No parking in prohibited zones

Parking in designated "No Parking" areas, busy corners, or in the middle of the road can lead to accidents and traffic congestion

5. Give way to emergency vehicles

When you hear sirens or see flashing lights from emergency vehicles like ambulances, police cars, or fire trucks, give them the right of way as blocking their path is a punishable offence

6. Carry necessary documentation/identification 

Always carry the necessary documents, either in physical or electronic mode via the DigiLocker application

7. Follow the speed limit

Adhere to the specified speed limits whether you're driving in the city or on highways 

8. Proper use of lights

Use your turn indicators when changing lanes or making turns, and in adverse weather conditions like rain or fog, use fog lights and emergency lights to signal your intentions and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles

9. Avoid phone usage while driving

Refrain from using your mobile phone while driving and if you receive an urgent call, it's safer to pull over to the side of the road before attending to it

10. Don't drink and drive

Driving under the influence of alcohol is not only against the law but also extremely dangerous and can result in hefty fines, imprisonment, or a revoked licence 

11. Accompany learners

If you're a learner driver, make sure there's someone with a valid driving licence accompanying you at all times when you're behind the wheel

12. Only one pillion rider

If you're riding a two-wheeler, remember that you're allowed to carry only one pillion passenger along with you

13. Wear helmets

Both the rider and the pillion passenger on a two-wheeler must wear helmets that are approved and properly fastened

14. Always wear seat belts

When you're travelling in a car, make sure you and all your passengers are buckled up with seat belts. Children in the back seat should be secured using proper child restraints
