The Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) of Lahore took a significant step on Monday by reclaiming over 250 motorcycles previously used by lower staff for personal purposes. These motorcycles have now been reassigned to traffic inspectors and patrolling officers to improve operational efficiency.
According to the CTO, this reallocation is aimed at ensuring a stronger presence of traffic personnel on the roads, thereby enhancing the overall management of traffic in the city. The move is expected to improve the mobility of traffic officials but also ensure that resources are utilized effectively for their intended purposes.
In addition to the redistribution of motorcycles, patrolling officers have been equipped with new wireless communication devices. This upgrade is intended to strengthen coordination among traffic personnel and reduce response times, ultimately leading to better traffic regulation and public service.
Recently, the City Traffic Police (CTP) Rawalpindi has introduced a state-of-the-art driving simulator at its training school to provide learners with a realistic and safe driving experience. The simulator allows trainees to navigate various scenarios, teaching them how to handle challenges and emergencies while promoting responsible driving habits and awareness of traffic rules.
This initiative, led by Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Beenish Fatima, aims to enhance driver training and reduce traffic accidents. During her visit to the training school, the CTO emphasized the importance of training skilled and safety-conscious drivers. She highlighted that this program, built on international standards, is not just about driving skills but also about fostering public safety and respect for traffic laws.
