Follow traffic rules and get rid of the traffic mess!
Traffic jams and accidents due to rash driving are common phenomena around the globe. However, unlike India, in developed countries like Europe and the Eastern countries, these problems are effortlessly controlled following basic rules and regulations laid down by the Global Traffic Control. In India, the problem is that though we have the same Global Traffic Control rules, we do not follow these rules sincerely. As a result, we are unable to control either the traffic mess or accidents.
Home Times hereunder presents a few most vital traffic norms which apply to both, motorists and pedestrians. If the motorists and the citizens of Mulund follow these traffic rules diligently then Home Times is sure Mulund will be free from the niggling problem of traffic jams.

Remember, every year the lives of approximately 1.35 million people are cut short as a result of road traffic accidents. Each year, between 20 and 50 million more people suffer non-fatal injuries with many incurring a disability as a result of their injury. Road traffic injuries cause considerable economic losses to individuals, their families and nations as a whole. Road traffic injuries are the leading cause of deaths in children and young adults aged 5-29 years. To eliminate fatal crashes and reduce serious injuries it is imperative to following traffic rules and regulations with complete sincerity.
