Lucknow: In a rare and impactful initiative, Lucknow Traffic Police on Sunday brought together 80 hearing impaired two-wheeler riders for a special awareness rally aimed at transforming how motorists perceive and respond to hearing-impaired commuters on city roads.
The rally, flagged off by ACP (traffic) Satish Kumar Rai at the KD Singh Babu Stadium crossing, turned heads as participants rode with ear-symbol stickers displayed prominently on their vehicles as a visual reminder for others to slow down, stay alert and avoid unnecessary honking. Held under the directions of DCP (traffic), the event sought to spread the message that safety of hearing impaired riders was not their burden alone but a shared civic responsibility. "Smoother roads and safer journeys are possible only when citizens recognise and respect the needs of every road user," said DCP Traffic Kamlesh Dixit. Traffic personnel interacted with motorists and passersby, explaining significance of ear logo and urging them to be extra cautious whenever they spot a vehicle marked with it. Such symbols, officers said, were not just stickers but silent signals to prevent accidents. The rally highlighted how excessive honking can be dangerous for hearing impaired riders who rely more on visual cues than sound.
