The National Highways and Motorway Police has issued an Eid travel advisory for all commuters using Motorways and Highways. Authorities warned that traffic volume is expected to rise significantly during the holiday period.
A spokesperson for the Central Zone said special measures have been implemented to manage traffic pressure and ensure public safety. Drivers are advised to follow reduced speed limits and adopt safe driving practices to avoid accidents.
Under the advisory, cars and light transport vehicles (LTV) on motorways should not exceed 100 km/h. Public service and heavy transport vehicles (PSV/HTV) must maintain speeds below 90 km/h. On highways, the limit is 80 km/h for cars and LTVs, while PSV/HTVs are restricted to 65 km/h.
Motorists are urged to maintain lane discipline, wear seat belts, and drive carefully at all times. Commuters can also obtain travel information through the Motorway Police helpline 130 or via official social media channels before starting their journey.
The Central Region has stepped up actions against overcharging and traffic violations under instructions from Inspector General Sultan Chaudhry. In recent operations, 937 vehicles were fined Rs4.8 million for overloading. Additionally, 203 buses were instructed to refund over Rs700,000 to passengers for excess charges.
