Rawalpindi launched its long-awaited e-challan system on Friday, officially beginning electronic traffic ticketing through Safe City surveillance cameras.
According to the Safe City SSP, the system will start issuing fines today. It uses high-resolution cameras to detect violations such as running red lights, riding motorcycles without helmets, driving without seat belts, lane violations, and illegal number plates.
The system relies on AI to identify violations and automatically generate fines, which are then delivered to the offender’s home address. Any driver or rider passing a Safe City camera without meeting traffic requirements will be fined without manual intervention.
The Safe City Project has installed more than 2,000 cameras across 359 locations in Rawalpindi, including 15 cameras at major entry and exit points. The system aims to improve road safety and strengthen traffic enforcement across the city.
