While we can always discuss this and the shortcomings of such notifications and the very manner in which this gets implemented and diluted based on whims and fancies, but here is one from 2018: SOURCE
My quoted response comes due to the fact that I was actively following Bangalore Traffic Police Website and Facebook page few years back and this topic did come up: SOURCE
I am not at all supporting situations where motorists are penalized for driving 60+ in a 40 zone in the absence of a signage but when you question the authorities, they will really pull out such notifications.
Note: Let us not talk about any revisions or change in limits. By responding earlier, I only wanted to say that if one argues about the absence of such signages, you are likely to get pointed to such articles/gazette notifications from MoRTH.
Since I also brought the topic of how cops penalize you for parking in a no parking zone where no such boards exist, here was once when I interacted with cops few years before: Quote:

I was sitting on the driver's seat parked along the pavement opposite to a More store (this was not a No Parking road earlier)while my wife went in to buy groceries.
A traffic constable walks to my window and asks me to move the car for which I ask him if this road has a "No Parking" sign. He asks me to talk to "Sahebru" Sitting on his Pulsar few meters away.
I get down, walk to him and ask the same - "Where is the No Parking Sign?".
He replies - " Do you have a habit of reading news papers?" To which I say yes.
So he replies that recently there was a gazette notification making this road (New BEL Road) a No Parking zone and hence no Boards are installed to let people know about this rule.
So people - Time to read even obituary,Tender invite notifications and Auction of confiscated items by lenders in newspapers without skipping a page!!! |
