TIRUPATI, ANDHRA PRADESH: The Tirupati District Police Department is conducting a special road safety awareness initiative titled ‘Stop and Wash’ at Mokalla Mitta Down Ghat to improve the safety of devotees, motorists and other travellers using the Tirumala ghat road.

The initiative encourages drivers to temporarily stop their vehicles, take short breaks and wash their faces and hands before continuing their journey. The programme aims to reduce driver fatigue, promote personal hygiene and create greater awareness about road safety along the ghat route.

Key Objectives of the Stop and Wash Initiative

The programme focuses on preventing road accidents and encouraging responsible driving habits among motorists.

The major objectives include:

  • Encouraging Rest Breaks: Motivating drivers to stop their vehicles for a short period and take adequate rest during their journey.

  • Promoting Personal Hygiene: Providing an opportunity for drivers to wash their faces and hands and feel refreshed before continuing.

  • Preventing Road Accidents: Creating awareness about the risks associated with driving while tired or exhausted.

  • Avoiding Fatigue-Related Driving: Advising motorists not to continue driving when they experience sleepiness or physical exhaustion.

  • Improving Passenger Safety: Educating devotees and travellers about safe driving practices on the ghat road.

  • Promoting Cleanliness and Health: Highlighting the importance of personal hygiene and individual well-being during travel.

Police Emphasise the Importance of Rest During Ghat Road Travel

Driving along ghat roads requires concentration, alertness and responsible driving practices. Continuous driving without adequate rest can affect a driver's attention and reaction time, potentially increasing the risk of accidents.

Through the Stop and Wash initiative, Tirupati Police are encouraging motorists to recognise signs of fatigue and take appropriate breaks.

Drivers experiencing tiredness or sleepiness are advised to park their vehicles only in designated safe locations and resume their journey after getting sufficient rest.

Appeal to Devotees and Motorists

The Tirupati District Police Department has appealed to all devotees, motorists and travellers to follow traffic regulations and exercise caution while travelling along the ghat road.

Drivers are advised to:

  • Drive carefully and maintain safe speeds.

  • Avoid driving when feeling sleepy or exhausted.

  • Take adequate rest during long journeys.

  • Follow traffic rules and road safety instructions.

  • Cooperate with police personnel and safety initiatives.

Road Safety Is Everyone's Responsibility

The Stop and Wash initiative at Mokalla Mitta Down Ghat highlights the importance of preventive road safety measures, driver awareness and personal responsibility.

By encouraging motorists to take short breaks and remain alert, Tirupati District Police aim to promote safer journeys for devotees and other travellers using the Tirumala ghat road.

A safe journey begins with an alert driver. Tirupati Police urge every motorist to prioritise safety, follow traffic regulations and help prevent road accidents.
