🚦 Hyderabad Police Use Video Games to Teach Traffic Rules!
In a truly innovative move, the Hyderabad traffic police are leveraging the appeal of video games to address road safety awareness among youth.
The Initiative: Officials are developing simulator-based video games focused on traffic rules, primarily targeting the 13–18 age group to tackle both ignorance and knowing disregard of the law.
Unique Mechanic: Unlike conventional racing games, success will hinge not on speed, but on completing the race without violating any traffic rules (e.g., wearing a helmet or seatbelt). Consistent obedience will be rewarded.
Success Precedent: The concept is reinforced by a prior trial conducted by the CRRI in Delhi, which used similar safety-themed games on 5,000 schoolchildren and observed encouraging outcomes and improved awareness of traffic violations. The Hyderabad police are moving forward with discussions with corporate firms to design the new games.
