After the successful implementation of first phase of E-challan in Lahore, the Punjab Safe Cities Authority (PSCA) on Friday further advanced its E-challan ambit by including speed-limit and lane violations in addition to previously observed one-way and red-light violations.
A PSCA spokesman said technically calibrated speed radar cameras have been mounted on all E-challan points across the metropolis. He claimed that the PSCA is educating public through its Visual Messaging Screens (VMS) about the applicable speed limits on different roads.
"For the traffic on Canal Road, the speed limit for LTV and HTV has been maintained at 70km and 50km, respectively. Similarly, for The Mall Road, Jail Road, Ferozpur Road and Gulberg Main Boulevard, the speed limits for both the LTV and HTV vehicles have also been maintained at 60km and 40km, respectively," he added.
According to the spokesman, all four violations added in E-challan matrix are main contributors to deaths and injuries on roads. This initiative has streamlined traffic management and road safety in Lahore resulting in fuel efficiency, he added.
The IG Punjab has also directed to improve traffic scenario in the metropolis in accordance with the instructions of the Lahore High Court. Those ticketed must pay their fines in time to avoid nuisance and action. All Bank of Punjab (BoP) branches are authorized to collect payments of E-challan across the province.
