ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) is now using drones to monitor traffic and enforce laws on the city’s busiest roads. The new system will first be used on the Islamabad Expressway and Srinagar Highway, two major routes that carry a lot of traffic.

Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Capt (retd) Syed Zeeshan Haider said that these drones will monitor traffic in real time and immediately catch anyone violating traffic rules. Those caught using the drones will be fined immediately. This is a major step towards using modern technology for traffic enforcement.

CTO Haider explained that the aim of this effort is to improve discipline on Islamabad’s roads, reduce traffic violations, reduce congestion and make the roads safer for all.

After the initial phase, the ITP plans to use drones on other important roads and areas across the city. Apart from enforcing the rules, the drones will also help in locating areas with heavy traffic jams, allowing the ITP to dispatch quick response teams to reduce delays and smooth traffic flow.

The CTO added that this is part of a larger plan to modernize policing and ensure strict enforcement of traffic laws.
