Also as per the reports, in order to properly enforce the crackdown, dedicated teams have been formed to monitor the traffic for the use of LED/HID by the motorists.
Several police pickets will also be placed at the busy avenues of the city including the Expressway, Kashmir Highway, Margalla Road, IJP Road, Murree Road, 7th Avenue, and 9th Avenue.
Officers in-charge of the nightshift monitoring activity will spearhead the said drive to monitor the use of high beams and LED/HID headlights. An education wing shall also play an active role in the campaign, as they would spread awareness among the motorists about risks pertaining to the use of LED/HID headlights.
Should be implemented all across the country.
Thumbs up for the initiative….
