“Traffic Marshals are a full-time paid team, dedicated to traffic regulation and will be deployed near all important traffic bottlenecks. This helps the Cyberabad Traffic Police to focus their time and efforts on enforcing traffic rules like signal jumping, wrong side driving, helmet-less driving etc,” Cyberabad Joint Commissioner – Traffic D. Joel Davis explained.  

“These traffic marshals have been provided a different set of uniforms with a logo printed on their uniform and a different cap. They will work during the peak hours of traffic between 8 a.m.- 11.30 am and 4.30 p.m.-9.30 p.m.,” he added.
