Rawalpindi Traffic Police have fined more than 1,300 motorists for lane and stop line violations this month as part of an ongoing district-wide campaign to tackle chaotic traffic conditions.

The action was taken on Wednesday as part of a larger campaign focused on improving road discipline across the district, with wardens and education teams actively working to ensure compliance with the laws.

According to the traffic police, to reinforce this initiative, informational pamphlets are being distributed among road users and public address systems are being used to broadcast safety messages.

Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Rawalpindi, Farhan Aslam, said that the violation of lane discipline is the main cause of traffic disorder. He has directed the circle, sector, and education wings to ensure the implementation of these important laws on the highways.

The CTO issued specific instructions for drivers, directing motorcyclists to use the far-left lane. He further clarified that the right-hand lane should be reserved solely for the purpose of making turns.

Emphasizing the importance of this campaign, CTO Farhan Aslam said, “The beauty of highways lies in lane and stop line discipline,” adding that its implementation is “the hallmark of civilized nations.”
