A
traffic police is a very familiar figure in towns and cities. He usually stands
on the island at the crossing of roads. His duty is to control the traffic in
the busy and crowded roads of the town. He puts on his specific uniform usually
with a cap. He has also a white umbrella to protect him from the sun and the
rain. He uses a whistle to draw the attention of the drivers and passers-by. As
soon as he raises his hand across a road, all the vehicles passing along that
road stop at once and passers-by are allowed to cross the road
safely.
Next he extends his hand in another direction and the traffic on that road
comes to a standstill and the stopped traffic on the previous road starts
moving on. This goes on for the whole day. A traffic police maintains discipline
in roads and highways and plays a vital role in road transports. Some of the
traffic police are not well-trained and that‘s why they maintain the traffic
whimsically that interrupts the normal speed of all traffics. He does not earn
a lot because his salary is very poor. He cannot support his family well and
cannot fulfil his desires as he is to lead a very simple life. However, he
should be well-paid so that he need not adopt unfair means for his living. Only
a few of the traffic police are involved in illegal operations and they
unnecessarily halt buses, trucks or any kind of vehicles and demand money
illegally. This may lead a country to destruction gradually. Rather, a traffic
police should be a great friend of the passers-by and must be an important
person of a nation
