You can protect yourself and others by following the proper traffic rules at highway intersections. When you exit side streets such as those leading from Al Jannat Road, Babu Abdul Rasheed Road, or Al Rehman Garden Phase 2, the correct procedure is to merge into the continuous flow of traffic on the appropriate side of the carriageway. Proceed downstream until you reach the officially designated U‑turn, complete the maneuver within the marked gap, and then continue toward your intended destination. This sequence aligns your vehicle with the regular traffic pattern and eliminates unexpected encounters with high‑speed oncoming traffic.
Recent observations along this arterial corridor reveal a persistent problem: many drivers, ranging from motorcyclists to auto‑rickshaws, cargo trikes, and passenger cars, choose to travel against the direction of traffic along the highway margin instead of using the lawful route. These wrong‑way movements create severe hazards, especially because the highway carries a heavy mix of intercity freight trucks, multi‑axle commercial carriers, local transit buses, and fast‑moving passenger vehicles. Large trucks need considerable stopping distances and cannot react quickly to unexpected traffic appearing from blind spots.
Despite the presence of official U‑turn facilities, a number of commuters attempt shortcuts by cutting directly across or riding wrong‑way along the highway side to enter nearby gaps. This practice obstructs oncoming vehicles and frequently results in collisions, near misses, and dangerous bottlenecks. When a slow‑moving tractor‑trolley or an overloaded three‑wheeler enters the highway out of sequence, the entire flow can grind to a halt, leading to extended traffic jams and a heightened risk of rear‑end and head‑on accidents.
True road safety starts with personal accountability. By embracing basic traffic etiquette—obeying directional signs, strictly rejecting one‑way violations, and utilizing authorized U‑turns—commuters can transform these hazardous junctions into orderly, safe corridors for everyone. Consistently following these guidelines helps ensure that the highway remains a reliable route for all travelers.
