Karachi’s traffic police have decided to strictly enforce helmet regulations on three major roads to enhance road safety and minimize motorcycle accidents. The initiative aims to ensure that riders comply with safety measures before entering high-traffic routes.
According to DIG Traffic Pir Muhammad Shah, motorcyclists without helmets will be barred from using Shahrah-e-Faisal, Metropole to Clifton Bridge, and PIDC to the Saudi Consulate.
These roads have been designated model routes where strict compliance will be observed.
“We are initially focusing on these three roads, and no motorcyclist will be allowed to enter without a helmet,” he stated.
Authorities will launch an awareness campaign during Ramadan to educate riders on helmet safety. However, following the holy month, strict penalties will be imposed on violators.
Additionally, Karachi’s traffic police will introduce a modern locking system for parked motorcycles. This system ensures that bikes can only be unlocked once the rider presents a helmet. Each section officer will be equipped with 50 such locks to enforce compliance effectively.
