The '''Geri route''' is a set of streets in northern [[Chandigarh]] where youth, mostly students, regularly drive cars and motorbikes. The word '''geri''' means "rounds", and thus the name derives from the "rounds" that people make through the route.<ref name=HT2008>{{cite news|title=Dodging the cops on Chandigarh's romance street|url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P3-1428921461.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140611063613/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P3-1428921461.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=11 June 2014|accessdate=2 February 2012|newspaper=Hindustan Times|date=14 February 2008}}</ref> The route, spans from Sectors 8,9,10 to 11, with the core being around [[DAV College, Chandigarh|DAV College]], Home Science College for Girls in Sector-10 and Govt. College for Girls in Sector-11. It has been used in this manner since the 1970s, with the route especially gaining popularity in the 1980s when car ownership became more common among young residents.<ref name=TOI2002>{{cite news|last=Bali|first=Pawan|title=Policing Valentine?
