KARACHI: Karachi has implemented new traffic regulations, warning violators of strict action. According to the city’s traffic police, heavy vehicles must now be equipped with side railings, underrun bars, GPS and cameras.

Oil tankers are required to install buffer plates, while drivers will undergo drug and fatigue tests to ensure road safety. Motorcyclists must wear helmets, use chain covers, keep their lights active, and display clear number plates. Bikers are also required to stick to the left lane, with fines for violators.

ANPR cameras will keep an eye on those who run red lights to change lanes recklessly. Repeat violators will have to pay an additional fine of Rs2,500. Meanwhile, rickshaws have been shown the door on five major roads, including Shahrah-e-Faisal Bend, Rashid Minhas Road.
