Pune: In a creative effort to promote road safety, Pune Police shared a viral video of a cow waiting patiently behind the line at a red traffic signal. The video, posted on Instagram, has garnered widespread attention and humorous reactions from netizens.
The video was accompanied by a witty caption from Pune Police: "Attention ‘Guys’. Don't moo-ve forward on a red light!" This clever message was intended to remind people to obey traffic signals, using the disciplined behavior of the cow as an example.
The Instagram post received a flood of comments, with users applauding the cow’s behavior and poking fun at human drivers. One user commented, "Excellent ! Cows here have more sense than us Punekars. I feel Pune traffic police should change the colours ..Red of course Go, Green also Go, Yellow ALWAYS Go." Another remarked, "This is cute and awesome but why is there a cow on the road? Isn't it a safety hazard?"

Many users humorously pointed out that the cow was better at following rules than some drivers. Comments like "At least someone stopping at signals in Pune" and "Cow is following rules but not Punekars" highlighted this sentiment.
Despite the lighthearted nature of the post, it draws attention to the serious issue of traffic congestion in Pune. The city is frequently cited among the most congested cities globally. According to TomTom's 2023 report, Pune commuters spend an average of 256 hours a year stuck in traffic during peak hours, highlighting the need for improved traffic management and adherence to road rules.
