JUMPING RED lights has become a frequent traffic violation in the last six months, suggest analysis of traffic challans issued in the city. An analysis of this year’s traffic challans and road accidents suggests that motorists violate the red signal throughout 24 hours. As per the challaning branch, 2,723 motorists were challaned for jumping red signal this year, of which about 1,500 were issued between 5 am and 9 pm. Earlier, there were a few roads prone to over speeding and red light jumping. Ironically, this time, we observed motorists violate the red signal even during the peak hours, which is unusual.
