Street Play Highlights Pedestrian Rights At Zebra Crossings
Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Indore Traffic Police conducted a programme to promote traffic rule awareness under the guidance of deputy commissioner of police (Traffic) Arvind Tiwari.
At White Church Square, a street play highlighted the importance of respecting pedestrian rights at zebra crossings. Citizens were educated about avoiding vehicle stops on zebra crossings during red lights, emphasising that violations could lead to e-challans.
Artists demonstrated traffic rules such as wearing helmets, using seat belts and avoiding overspeeding and mobile use while driving.
Adding a creative touch, a Charlie Chaplin impersonator wearing a helmet guided pedestrians to use zebra crossings safely and encouraged two-wheeler riders to prioritise helmet use. The event concluded with public applause for the performers’ impactful messaging.
