The Karachi Traffic Police has officially set speed limits on all major roads in the city, according to Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Traffic Pir Muhammad Shah.
Under the new regulations, motorcycles and light transport vehicles (LTVs) will be allowed a maximum speed of 60 kilometres per hour, while the limit for heavy transport vehicles (HTVs) has been restricted to 30 kilometres per hour.
DIG Shah announced that speed-monitoring systems equipped with cameras are being installed citywide to track and record vehicle speeds. Additionally, trackers are being fitted in 10,000 heavy vehicles, which will be linked to the Traffic Regulation and Citation System (TRACS) for real-time monitoring and data collection.
While speaking to The Express Tribune on Saturday, Shah said that TRACS has become operational across 40% of Karachi, currently integrated with 1,717 cameras. The system is fully functional in District South, with major arteries, including Shahrah-e-Faisal, already connected.
E-challans are now being issued in Malir, Korangi, East, Keamari, and Central districts for various traffic violations, including overspeeding, signal violations, wrong-way driving, failure to wear helmets, and not fastening seat belts.
DIG Shah added that the system will soon extend to industrial zones such as SITE, Landhi, New Karachi, and Korangi, incorporating camera-based surveillance, speed detection, and TRACS connectivity.
He further revealed that Karachi’s Traffic Management System will be fully implemented by next year, with the installation of an additional 11,000 cameras set to begin in January 2026.

جس طرح چالان کے لیئے کمرے لگ گئے۔۔۔ کیا سڑکیں نہیں بن سکتیں گورنمنٹ سے؟؟
Please link this cameras for other law breakers like snatchers and scene of accident regarding lodging of FIR etc instead of only for traffic violation
Sindh Government can tell that how many decoits ,car and motor cycle lifters have been captured on daily basis in Karachi??. Can thier cameras become mute on seeing decoits,car/motor cycle lifters??.All financial losses are exclusively for the citizens of Karachi in the form of e-challans ,crimes ,car/motor cycle lifting.
On which road which area v can drive smoothly at 60 km/hr. None of the road is in condition that v can drive smoothly n safely and what Beggars challan who irritated us on signals
This country is shit so is the regulation authority. They do not care about Traffic they only care about generating revenue for themselves.
May Allah have his wrath upon this country’s government and May Allah Damn all the ministers, cm and mpas of this country
Get traffic lights on Tariq Rd fixed first and catch motor bikes and rickshaws breaking red lights at Bahadurabad and then enforce these rules please
Pahly sarhken banwa deten tw zada behtar hota sir?
Let’s see if traffic police dare to fine dumpers, long vehicles and public transport which is run by themselves.
I do feel like U.S. & Canadian Vibe but Mobile Snatching, Car Snatching, Kidnapping, Robberies, Truck Mafia, Broken Roads & without Social income / Free medical it seems like an another way to do corruption. Well done guys. Now we’ll leave motor bikes, cars and we’ll try BUSES.
They used State money and will now put these challans in their own pockets, it’s the misfortune of Karachi that it’s being charged with violations while corrupt dogs like these roam around and eat Haram. May God deliver Karachi justice
60km on shahrah faisal..so absurd..it should be 80km unless you want traffic jams..
Bicycles can run over 60 km/h.
What’s the use to buy an expensive vehicle.
No issue.
We will drive our vehicle by 50 km/h on the main road.
We have enough time but you have limited
Please about super highway more traffic wrong side overtaking and bus addas
regards
System is very good to the lesson ignorant majority, but the fine should between Rs. 200- 500 as majority people in Pakistan are poor with average salary between 20,000-40,000.
