Punjab Traffic Police Issue Over 594,000 Fines in Lane Discipline Crackdown
The Punjab Traffic Police have intensified efforts to promote road safety and discipline, issuing more than 594,000 traffic fines across the province this year. The majority of these—over 400,000 challans—were issued for violations related to lane and line discipline.
✅ Streamlining Traffic for Safer Roads
According to an official spokesperson, the ongoing crackdown is aimed at improving traffic flow, reducing road accidents, and encouraging drivers to follow lane regulations across Punjab.
DIG Traffic Waqas Nazir highlighted the impact of dedicated green lanes in major urban centers like Lahore, which have helped reduce traffic congestion and support organized commuting.
