Explanation:

• The present perfect tense has the verb structure- has/have + past participle.
• In the sentence, '1.The city police have decide' the present perfect tense is denoted by the verb 'have' but the past participle form of the verb 'decide' which is 'decided' has not been used.
• Thus the correct sentence is : 1. The city police have decide d
• A verb following 'to' is usually a non finite verb called an infinitive.
• The verb form in an infinitive is the simple present form of the verb.

• In the sentence, ' 2. to taking stern action against ' the present form of the verb 'take' is not used. Instead the continuous form is used.
• Hence the correct sentence is : 2. to take stern action against
• Drivers are humans so the relative pronoun signifying them is 'who' and not 'which'.
• So the correct sentence is : 3. drivers who attempt to
• When one overtakes the preposition following the word is for and not in.
• So the correct sentence is : 4. overtake from the left side
• Any side with respect to roads is signified by the preposition 'of'.

• So the correct sentence is : 5.of city roads.
