We know it’s party time but so does Jaipur Police. Check posts and teams are assigned during late hours to catch hold of drunk drivers. So don’t mix alcohol with driving.

#7 Speed Trap Cameras

We have off-road racing tracks around Jaipur but JLN road is not one of them. Traffic Police have installed Speed Trap cameras at multiple locations for speeding drivers. Speeding over the limits could get you fined or jailed.

Interceptor Vans are placed on multiple locations at highways around the city. So, take note of the speed limit signboard and keep the vehicle within the mentioned limits.

#8 Avoid Phone Calls while Driving

How would you like to make calls while being fined for using a phone while driving? We guess not so fun. Interceptor Vans are installed with cameras to capture images of drivers which could be used to find the offenders.

#9 Parking

Parking your vehicle at no-parking zones may be convenient for you but it creates an obstruction for others. Be a smart citizen and park your vehicles at scheduled spaces only.

Bonus Tips – Apart from these there are some general rules that you need to follow like no tinted glasses, no bumpers, no high beam in the city area, etc., that you need to follow while driving a car or bike in Jaipur.
