The Madhya Pradesh Traffic Police has taken such a step this time, which is being discussed not only in the cities but all over the country. People often see the traffic police as the face of enforcing strictness and discipline. But this time it has been a little different. The traffic police have adopted a new method to stop and convince rule breakers. This method is Musical Auto Warning. That is, now not only sirens or whistles are sounded on the streets, but musical messages are heard. This unique effort is also going viral on social media and people are finding it both funny and effective.
The changing face of the traffic police
The image of the police is also changing with time. Earlier, people used to consider the police as an institution to only issue challans or collect fines. At times, this image became so rigid that people avoided even talking to the police. But now gradually the traffic police has started presenting itself as a friend and guide.
Now the police is no longer just a punitive institution. She is also playing an important role in making the society aware and explaining the rules in an intuitive way. In the era of social media, if a message is delivered in an entertaining way, it becomes popular immediately. That is why the MP Traffic Police has started such an experiment. This also reduces the distance between the public and the police and creates a positive relationship.
What is a musical auto-warning?
Musical auto warning is a system in which warning messages like songs or jingles are given from the speakers on autos or other vehicles. This is a completely different method, which is very different from the traditional whistle and siren.
When a person breaks a traffic rule, a musical sound reaches him. This sound is sometimes in the tune of the song and sometimes in the form of a funny jingle. For example - a warning is given in a melodious voice to wear a helmet or stop at a traffic signal. This does not annoy the listener, but he remembers the message while smiling.
Why was this needed?
The Madhya Pradesh Traffic Police has taken this step as part of a well thought out strategy. It has long been seen that warnings given by traditional methods are not taken seriously by people. Whistles or sirens blaring on the road are often drowned in the noise of the crowd. A lot of people ignore them and move on. But the musical warning is quite different. As soon as the melodious tune is played, everyone starts paying attention. This is its peculiarity.
This method explains the importance of rules in a funny way instead of scolding people. The advantage of this is that people try to improve themselves instead of getting annoyed.
