To curb dangerous overloading practices, Chief Traffic Officer Ammara Athar ordered a massive crackdown on vehicles exceeding specified load limits on Thursday. The directive includes the cancellation of licenses for drivers engaging in hazardous overloading.
Officers have also been instructed to initiate legal proceedings against vehicles loaded with goods beyond the permissible limit. Vehicle owners and drivers are warned to stay within the designated load and speed limits.
In a press statement, CTO Ammara Athar said heavy traffic was prohibited from entering the city before 11 p.m., and measures have been taken to enforce this restriction.
To enhance road safety, directives include covering sand, soil, and other pollutants on tractor-trailers. Loader vehicles were required to install head and back lights and reflectors. Based on past incidents, strict measures will be taken against cars posing a potential threat.
To ensure effective implementation, the Traffic Police has deployed eight senior and 24 wardens to monitor internal and external routes within the city. She added that the crackdown aimed to enhance road safety and reduce the risk of fatal accidents in Lahore.
