Sri Vijaya Puram, Nov 29 : A&N Traffic Police directs all commercial vehicle owners/drivers to strictly adhere to the provisions of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules (CMVR), 1989, which mandate the display of vehicle registration marks and related information in a conspicuous and standardized manner. To enhance accountability and address traffic congestion effectively, the following additional directive is being emphasized:

 Contact Details for Commercial Vehicles,
as per Motor Vehicle Act/Rule which allows for the inclusion of supplementary vehicle details for operational efficiency, all commercial vehicles are required to prominently display the owner’s or driver’s contact number on the vehicle. This shall be affixed on both sides and the rear of the vehicle in a legible manner using durable material.

 Advisory for Private (Own Use) Vehicles while this rule specifically applies to commercial vehicles, the Traffic Police advises owners/drivers of private vehicles to voluntarily affix their contact details.

This measure will facilitate communication with the vehicle owner or driver particularly when vehicles are left unattended, obstructing traffic or causing inconvenience during peak hours or emergencies to avoid being towed away by Traffic Police which sometimes cause minor damage to the vehicle.
