Punjab Will Use AI to Monitor 19 Traffic Rule Violations [Video]

The provincial government of Punjab has decided to utilize Artificial Intelligence (AI) to monitor traffic violations in the province.

It is pertinent to mention that last month, Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz urged the provincial traffic authorities to adopt AI to enforce traffic rules in the province better.

CM Maryam Nawaz has announced that traffic violations will be monitored through AI. It should be noted that Punjab has become the first province in the country to utilize AI to curb traffic violations.

AI will help the provincial traffic authorities to trace the following violations:

• Disobeying traffic signals
• Triple riding
• Driving against the traffic flow
• Having tinted or covered glass
• Ignoring line/lane/zebra crossing rules
• Driving where prohibited
• Performing one-wheel stunts
• Emitting excessive smoke
• Riding a motorcycle without a helmet
• Not fastening seatbelt
• Violating parking regulations
• Exceeding speed limits
• Overloading vehicles with passengers or goods
• Driving at night without proper headlights
• Blocking traffic flow
• Using mobile phones while driving
• Operating an unregistered vehicle
• Driving in violation of the age limit (underage or juvenile driver)

Recently, the Lahore City Traffic Police banned helmet-less motorcycle riders from Mall Road as part of its Helmet Enforcement Drive.

According to details, the traffic officials have set up barriers at different locations on Mall Road. Helmet-less motorcycle riders are being stopped at Cantt, Zafar Ali Road, Canal Road, Governor House, and Istanbul Chowk.
