New Speed Limit Introduced on Karachi’s Busiest Road

Karachi authorities have installed speed limit signs along Shahrah-e-Faisal after the launch of the city’s e-challan system, aiming to regulate traffic and enhance road safety.

Deputy Superintendent of Police (Admin) Kashif Nadeem said authorities have set the speed limit at 60 km/h for cars and jeeps, while heavy vehicles such as buses and trucks must adhere to a 30 km/h limit.

Motorcycles are also restricted to 60 km/h. Vehicles exceeding the prescribed speed will be automatically fined through the e-challan cameras installed along the road.

The Sindh government recently introduced the e-challan system to enforce traffic rules strictly while prioritizing the safety of citizens and protecting property.

Despite facing criticism from opposition parties and sections of the public, Senior Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon emphasized that the protection of lives and property remains the provincial government’s top priority.
