Mizoram, a beautiful small state in India is not just beautiful by nature but it also has a lot to learn from its people and their culture. Just from the traffic sense which people have in this state, alot can be learned by other Indian states. Mizoram's traffic etiquettes have been appreciated one more time on the internet. Viral photos and videos of people patiently waiting in their lanes, without honking or overtaking, have been shared many times, simply because the sight is rare in the rest of the country. This traffic discipline has earned Aizawl, which is a small city in the state, the title of the 'Silent City' of India. Aizawl being a hilly area, it is prone to traffic but people simply wait in their lanes. One simple rule that is followed by drivers, instead of continuous honking, they do slight beep-beep of the horn, which is an indication for the vehicle in front that maybe they are driving slowly and the vehicle behind them needs to go forward. There are no traffic lights or division of roads. Just the whistle of a traffic cop and hand gestures are enough for commuters. When asked if they would cut lanes or take wrong side to reach a place early, all the people said the same thing: 'We would feel ashamed to do such a thing.' It is amazing how everyone in the city feels the same way about obeying traffic rules. Breaking rules is an embarrassment for Mizo people. Now, After listening to this amazing traffic etiquette followe by the people of Mizoram, what do they feel about the traffic in the rest of India?
