SHILLONG: In a unique and creative approach to promote public safety during this New Year's Eve, the Shillong Traffic Police has unveiled a "special menu"—an advisory designed to remind motorists and riders to steer clear of violations on the city's streets. This cleverly crafted message blends humor with a serious call to follow traffic rules and celebrate responsibly.

The advisory is cleverly divided into three distinct categories:

Starter Violations

The advisory kicks off with "Starters" highlighting common offenses like riding without a helmet, driving without a seatbelt, using mobile phones while on the road, triple riding, improper parking, and driving vehicles without valid number plates.

Main Course Offenses

For those who continue to engage in dangerous behaviors, the "Main Courses” highlights more serious violations: drunk driving, reckless driving, overspeeding, and underage driving or riding. These offenses are often the primary culprits behind road accidents, especially during festive celebrations.

Dessert Misconducts

To conclude, the "Desserts" section draws attention to disruptions like modified exhaust pipes, excessive honking, and stunting on public roads—behaviors that not only disturb public peace but also pose unnecessary risks to safety.

The advisory wraps up with a firm yet humorous reminder: “If you choose any of the above, the Shillong Police (STP) will be at your service.” Furthermore, the STP encourages everyone to “enjoy responsibly and begin 2025 with a smile.”

This creative campaign by the Shillong Traffic Police emphasizes the importance of responsible behavior during festive celebrations. By blending humor with a strong warning, the initiative seeks to raise awareness and promote a safer environment for all on New Year's Eve.
