Rawalpindi’s City Traffic Police (CTP) has removed all the temporary pickets placed up in Murree after the tourist ban was lifted.
The announcement was made by the Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Rawalpindi, Wasim Riaz, on Sunday.
He explained that the hill station is now open for tourism after 20 days following the installation of a new, state-of-the-art scientific system at all its entrances that will count all the incoming vehicles.
The CTO added that the ban on vehicles entering Murree between 5 AM and 5 PM has been lifted but only 8,000 vehicles will be permitted to enter Murree on a daily basis. He stated that Murree has a parking capacity of approximately 3,500 vehicles and that more traffic wardens have been deployed to assist visitors.
He advised motorists to follow the traffic rules, avoid over-speeding, and ensure their vehicles are in good condition before traveling to hill stations. Moreover, they are to avoid inappropriate parking, double lines, and taking pictures in the middle of the road.
