The city is developing but the infrastructure is not enough for the growing population, leading to road mishaps. According to information from Bengaluru Traffic Police on facebook page, a total of 729 persons had lost their lives in road accidents at Bengaluru last year.
Every individual needs to understand the concept of the safety rules and abide by the traffic rules. Thus creating awareness among people on traffic rules is essential to minimise the number of road accidents.
‘TraffiKnights’ initiated by volunteers of Volunteer for a Cause (VFC), a city based voluntary organization, serves as a reminder to everyone not to ignore the traffic rules. VFC volunteers create Traffic Awareness through banners and posters, at different locations across Bangalore on a monthly basis. Recently such Traffic Awareness Campaign was conducted by VFC Volunteers at Sony World signal in Koramangala. When the signal turns red, the volunteers holding various placards with signs and information on Traffic Rules stand in front of the motor vehicle users till the signal time comes to an end and when the signal turns green, they move sideways making way for vehicles to pass.
The awareness is created to different people who pass through the chosen junction in the duration of two hours that volunteers spend at all the signal points in that junction.
