A traffic cop awarded with the certificate of distinction may be promoted to higher post by one level.
If any traffic cop is found to have indulged in bribery, he/she will be liable to departmental action.
Traffic personnel will get marks for taking action against motorists, who violate traffic rules such as disregarding traffic signals, using mobile phone while driving, parking vehicles in the no-parking zone, drunk driving, seat-belt infraction, mechanical modification of bikes, overloading vehicles, overtaking from the left side of the road and violation of one-way traffic rule.
