Public Places
๐จโ๐ฉโ๐ง For EveryoneHow to behave when you are outside your home
Public places belong to everyone โ roads, parks, markets, buses, trains, temples, hospitals. How we behave in these spaces tells a lot about our character.
๐ฃ๏ธ Roads & Footpaths
Walk on the footpath, not on the road
Why: Roads are for vehicles. Walking on the road puts your life at risk.
Use zebra crossings to cross the road
Why: Vehicles slow down at zebra crossings. Crossing randomly is dangerous.
Wait for the green signal before crossing
Why: Traffic signals create order and save lives.
Keep to the left while walking in a crowd
Why: Following a side prevents collisions and confusion.
Make way for emergency vehicles โ ambulance, fire engine, police
Why: Someone's life may depend on those extra seconds.
Don't spit on the road or footpath
Why: Saliva spreads infections like TB. It makes the road filthy for everyone.
Don't throw garbage on the road
Why: Garbage blocks drains and causes flooding. It spreads diseases.
Don't walk while staring at your phone
Why: You could walk into traffic, potholes, or other people.
Don't block the footpath by standing in large groups
Why: Others need to pass. Blocking forces them onto the road.
Don't urinate on walls or in open spaces
Why: It spreads disease and shows complete disrespect to public spaces.
๐ Real Life Example
"Raju was in a hurry and crossed the road at a random point. A speeding bike barely missed him. Had he used the zebra crossing 50 metres away, both he and the biker would have been safe."
Remember
"The road is not yours alone โ share it responsibly."
