In a first-of-its-kind action, Faisalabad police have registered a case against a motorcyclist for violating the 60km/h speed limit set for the province.
The accused, identified as Rehan, was arrested for recklessly speeding on Bagh-e-Jinnah Road.
According to the police, Rehan was driving in a dangerous and reckless manner, posing a serious threat to public safety. The maximum speed limit for motorcyclists in the city is set at 60 kilometres per hour, and his violation led to immediate legal action.
On the other hand, to ensure compliance with speed limits, the Punjab Traffic Police have been directed to strictly enforce a 60km/h speed cap for motorcyclists. A letter has been issued to the traffic police to ensure the speed of motorcyclists at 60km/h.
On the orders of the additional inspector general (traffic), the Punjab traffic senior superintendent of police (SSP) has issued instructions to all district officers.
As part of this directive, chief traffic officers (CTOs) and district traffic officers (DTOs) across Punjab, including Lahore, have been instructed to monitor motorcycle speeds and take action against violators.
The speed monitoring initiative will be enforced using Safe City cameras and speed guns in all districts. Furthermore, authorities have announced plans to purchase additional speed guns to enhance enforcement and maintain road safety.
Authorities have warned that strict action will be taken against those who violate traffic laws.
