Bengaluru Traffic Police not only receive complaints via social media but also respond to doubts and clarifications about roads signs and safety. For example, one Twitter user spotted a unusual road sign and shared a picture on social media, asking the cops to explain the sign and its usage.

A Twitter handle belonging to one Aniruddha Mukharjee spotted the sign – four black dots on a white background. The curious commuter clicked a picture and tweeted, tagging the traffic police, “What traffic symbol is this? @wftrps @blrcitytraffic. This is put up just before Hopefarm signal!”
-
Traffic police in the Whitefield area responded swiftly and explained why the sign had been set up in that area. “Dear Sir, that is a cautionary sign board which (warns) that a blind person may likely be on the road (and so you must) exercise caution while driving. There is a school (for blind people) at Hope Farm Junction where this board is placed. Regards.”
