SPEAKING AT THE WORKSHOP, DR ROHIT BALUJA, PRESIDENT IRTE AND DIRECTOR OF THE COLLEGE OF TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SAID, a�?The Rules of the Road Regulations form the very basis of discipline, safety and efficiency of road usage. The positive effect of improving road safety would only be possible once the Rules of Road Regulations are properly understood and implemented by the Transport Departments, Traffic Police and consequently by the road users in respective States and UTsa�?.

The Amendment to the Rules of Road Regulations 1989 has already been legislated as Motor Vehicles (Driving) Regulations 2017 by the Ministry (Gazette Notification 634E). These Regulations have superseded the Rules of the Road Regulations, 1989 with effect from 23 June 2017. There is therefore an urgent need to apprise the responsible stakeholders of the change of status.
