Bare Act

The Tamil Nadu Traffic Control Act, 1938

This law governs traffic and public spaces in Tamil Nadu by giving the state government the authority to create rules for motor vehicles and public places. It allows officials to set speed limits, issue driving permits, and temporarily close roads to ensure public safety and order. The Act also empowers the government to control transport authorities and punishes those who break these rules with fines, which can increase for repeated offenses. By repealing an older law, it consolidates traffic control regulations to manage the flow of vehicles and pedestrians more effectively across the state.
