Hence, to enforce traffic regulations and safety on roads, amended rules and penalties are implemented by the central government.

Traffic Rules in Delhi
The rising cases of accidents and road fatalities in Delhi has led to some changes in the traffic rules made by the central government. The changes were enforced since 1 September, 2019 by making amendments in the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988.
It is necessary for every motorist/vehicle owner to adhere by the new regulations. In case people are found violating these rules on road, they would be levied with heavy penalties through traffic challans.
After the modifications in rules and new penalties, the vehicle owners in Delhi have started taking traffic rules sincerely. Further, people have started carrying the obligatory papers while driving a vehicle.
