New Traffic Rules

Over five lakh accidents take place on Indian
roads annually in which around 1.5 lakh people
die, and over 2.5 lakh are grievously injured.
Therefore, strict measures and corrective action
must be taken to bring down these figures. The
amended MVA, 2019 was recently passed by the
Parliament and came into effect from September 1
this year and new fines for traffic violations
2019 are now in place.  The new traffic rules and
penalties for violations have been introduced to
improve road safety.
