Punjab Traffic Police has launched a public awareness campaign urging motorcyclists to install and use indicators, highlighting both safety concerns and financial penalties for violations.
The campaign emphasizes that riding a motorcycle without functional indicators can result in a fine of Rs. 2000, while installing indicators costs around Rs. 400. According to the awareness material, lack of indicators increases the risk of accidents and poses a danger to both riders and other road users.
The campaign also stresses that proper use of indicators helps maintain lane discipline and improves overall traffic flow on busy roads. Traffic Police Punjab has advised motorcyclists to ensure their bikes are properly equipped and to follow traffic rules to avoid penalties and ensure safer travel.
The development comes days after the Punjab Assembly approved amendments to reduce traffic fines across the province. Under the revised law, fines for certain motorcycle violations have been lowered from Rs. 2,000 to Rs. 1,000, with the maximum penalty capped at Rs. 2,000, while fines for cars and jeeps have also been reduced for minor offences.
Despite the reduction in fines, traffic police officials said enforcement against violations will continue, with a focus on improving road discipline and reducing accidents.

Please also ensure the both side mirrors which are more important during driving to see behind before turning to right or left

Fine hona chahiye ma regular indicator use karta houn bhot SA biker use karty Hain but issue yeh hai car driver indicator KO consider he ni karty bikes Ka
In addition to indicators, side mirrors should also be made mandatory as most bikers change lanes without bothering to look behind or sides.
I appreciate the traffic police to as they are stricting the rules , but I think it’s not enough to issue penalties only , every kind of drivers also must follow the signal lights rules ,and i think should be there traffic warden available and check, and must verbally warn the drivers , and teach the drivers to stop before these white lines, if someone denying or over talking issue penalty against that violator, after awareness campaign must start issue penalties over safe city cameras 📷
Itni lambi khabar likh di pr indicator nhi likhy kon kon sy must Hain
Side mirror is as important for motorcycle riders as indicators.
Back light is also crucial to reduce accidents in night. In the night when high beam light make you blind especially those vehicals which have no back light.
I have noticed that in these days some buses or trucks install heavy white lights instead of red lights on back side, this act is also dangerous and make blind following drivers.
Whar about the lights ? Front and rear
It’s not giving traffic violation tickets but forced loot of the public by Punjab Police. Violations are charged like Dubai and facilities are of Somalia or Uganda .
There should be a fine for rear view mirrors as well. Without rear view mirrors, motorcyclists change the lanes without checking what is coming behind them.
They should also impose fine on motorbikes without side view mirrors. As well as on carrying a passenger without helmet.
