Lahore has introduced an electronic challan (e-challan) system to address lane, stop line, and zebra crossing violations. Fines for these infractions are now being sent directly to offenders’ homes.
This initiative follows a report of 73,000 violations captured by Safe City cameras in one day. Chief Traffic Police Officer (CTO) Amara Athar stressed the need for strict lane discipline to ensure smooth traffic flow.
She stated that road markings and lane lines are being improved, emphasizing motorcyclists in the far left lane.
CTO Athar also added that enforcement of lane discipline will be particularly stringent on model roads in Lahore. Data from a recent traffic monitoring session revealed 15,281 deliberate traffic signal violations, 12,000 instances of overspeeding, and 3,000 one-way traffic breaches.
Furthermore, there were over 41,000 cases of lane and stop line violations. So far this year, Lahore has issued e-challans to 700,000 vehicles for not adhering to lane discipline, according to reports.

The biggest problem is traffic wardens because they themselves violate traffic rules and also encourage others. Most of the time they forgive the offenders after taking to someone on cell phones. They should be strictly monitored for such like activities.

Usually it has been seen traffic police department have to achieve daily challans targets.
They have to Challans without any violations to achieve their targets.
No doubt it is good to save incidents and safe life.
Assalaam-O-Alaikum.
The traffic police should take more drastic action against the traffic law breakers. May I bring to the notice of the CTO that I have observed that the loaders, chinkchis motor cycles,donkey and horse driven carts all are plying on roads without registered number plates which is very serious offence and the culprits are un traceable without having registered number plates on their vehicles.All such vehicles owners should be given time to get their vehicles registered after which heavy fines be imposed on such vehicles owners who don’t get it registered with the concerned department .Traffic in Lahore has multiplied many folds it is becoming difficult to control the traffic so the police traffic department should immediately work out plans to control the ever increasing traffic . One thing more that the kids below the age of 18 years are seen on the road driving motor bikes,loaders, cars which too is very dangerous and led to to serious accidents.This thing should also be checked seriously.
Wassalaam.
Govt is requested to Please increase the fine of wrong way driving. This is the only way to reduce the violation.
Increasing fine won’t get desired results, Active traffic wardens are the only solution.
(Mobiles are the only activity in which they remain busy)
A big percentage % of motor-bikes and Qing-Qi (Ching-Chees) are plying on the roads with out a headlights OR totally without lights.. the biggest hazards fr accidents…But no one paying any heed to this.
Traffic wardons r the main source violation.
They only perform their duty upto the extent of, not wearing the helmot or remain bz with under 18.
They never bother to educate them.
1 Wrong way driving
2 driving without the headlight ( one of the biggest cause of accidents even deaths)
3 Violating lanes
4 Violating Zebra crossing
Motorcyclists in the far left?? Are you fucking stupid? What kind of bullshit rule is that? The left lane is for slow movers. The right lane is for fast movers. THATS HOW IT IS IN THE WORLD. Who made this rule? Do they even have any road rules knowledge? Do you have any idea how many accidents this can cause?
rikhsaws and chinhee using fake numbers plats and voilate rules all day. nobody challenge them
I got 4 Challans in a week for over speed there is a speed limit on ILLAMA IQBAL AIRPORT SERVICE ROAD IS 70 AND MY CAR Speed WAS 68, i already submitted the challan fee.. but yeahpaisa sahi jaga per use ho tou humy koi issues nhi road per kitny garhy hyn kitny saal hugye wo thek nhi kerty yeah log
Pakistan has a bad history of failure in the implementation of rules and laws especially to the heavy weights.
Unfortunately, CTO is very active in media handling. There is no practical work on ground. Wardens are absent from roads or they are busy in phones or resting in cars. Their boss releases a press drama every few Days.
Challan will give you in your home don’t worry about wardens
There should also be heavier fine in case bigger/luxury vehicles commit these violations.
Why does a Fortuner owner pay the same as the one driving a rickshaw? So many times a brand new City or Civic is coming wrong way on Model Town Link Road (near Pace) just to save Rs. 5 worth of petrol and create disturbance and discomfort for others.
Having said that, I really appreciate the introduction of one-way spikes on u-turns of the Main Boulevard Gulberg. It improves the traffic flow and frees the drivers from constant anxiety of saving each single idiot who comes the wrong way in such a tight space.
Before entering Defence Lahore both sides are encroached by wrong parking . No strict has been taken in this regard ever
It’s good to start e challans but important thing is to bound traffic wardens not to take beibe and uselessly impose violations to take bribe. Secondly motorcyclist and Ching chi should be controlled as they have occupied all main roads specially Multan Road and almost every car on roads is scratched by Ching chis.
Mistaken or errant data is being shared by the ‘vigilant’ CTP Lhr. in this news report…total violations are some 73000, while the challan issued to 700000/???
Despite of this the thing is….
CTP Lhr should take some measures to facilitate the motorists instead of making heavy fines on them… There’s no feedback for any suggestion or compliant the citizens are contributing on its online portal…this is frustrating and disappointing which is not acceptable at all…
Pakistan is very poor country so plz mercy for us
Good step
