The Karachi Traffic Police is preparing to launch a new digital enforcement system that will monitor traffic violations through high-definition cameras instead of on-ground officers.
Called the Faceless Traffic Regulation and Citation System (TRACS), the initiative is expected to begin soon in the city.
Under this system, traffic violations will be detected automatically by surveillance cameras. Once a violation is recorded, an e-ticket with photo evidence will be generated and delivered directly to the violator’s home address.
Officials say the move is aimed at improving transparency, reducing corruption, and modernizing how traffic laws are enforced. “No more arguments—every challan will come with proof,” reads the campaign’s slogan, reflecting the system’s goal of ensuring accountability.
The new process is designed to make things easier for citizens and tougher on repeat offenders. A 50% discount will be offered if the challan is paid within 14 days, but fines will double after 21 days.
Non-payment for three months may lead to suspension of the driver’s license, and after six months, the individual’s CNIC could be blocked.
