Islamabad Police crack down on wrong-way driving, one-wheeling
Islamabad Traffic Police has directed traffic wardens to take strict action against serious traffic violations. Wrong-way driving and one-wheeling are considered major risks to motorists and pedestrians.
Legal action ordered against violators
According to the Islamabad Traffic Police spokesperson, field wardens have been verbally instructed to register legal cases against people involved in these violations. The move is aimed at discouraging dangerous driving and improving road safety.
Wrong-way driving and one-wheeling are frequently seen on roads in Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Police officials have warned that such practices can lead to serious and fatal accidents.
More traffic challans expected
With stricter enforcement, traffic wardens are expected to issue more challans across Islamabad. Police said dangerous driving can put the lives of other road users at serious risk.
The Islamabad Traffic Police also rejected reports that wardens had been given specific targets for issuing challans. Officials said action is being taken against violations rather than to meet a fixed quota.
Motorcyclists face tighter checks
Traffic enforcement has also increased against motorcyclists and riders working with ride-hailing services. Police are focusing on violations that could create risks for other people using the roads.
Officials said the enforcement campaign is aimed at improving traffic discipline. Riders involved in dangerous practices could face legal action under the relevant laws.
Same-day licence fee also increased
Sources said Islamabad Traffic Police is already charging an additional Rs2,000 for same-day driving licence issuance. The fee is separate from the latest enforcement action against traffic violations.
The crackdown comes as authorities continue efforts to improve road safety in the capital. Strict action against wrong-way driving and one-wheeling could help reduce the risk of serious accidents.
The stricter action shows that Islamabad Police is focusing on dangerous driving practices. Wrong-way driving and one-wheeling can quickly cause serious accidents.
Police have also made it clear that challans are not being issued to meet fixed targets. The main focus is on controlling violations and making roads safer.
