What Gurugram Traffic Police Said

DCP (Traffic) Virender Vij stressed the importance of lane discipline for road safety. “Improper lane discipline and sudden lane changes are major causes of road accidents, putting everyone at risk. We regularly conduct awareness programs for truck drivers, company employees, and bus operators to educate them about traffic rules,” he said.

He further explained that proper lane discipline reduces accidents and ensures safer journeys for all road users. “We will continue such enforcement drives to maintain road safety and encourage compliance with traffic laws,” he added.

Strict enforcement is crucial as many commercial vehicle drivers still ignore lane rules, even on well-marked highways. Raising awareness among truck drivers about lane regulations is essential to improve safety on national highways and prevent road accidents.
