Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh: The upgraded traffic challan system in the state will soon penalize pillion riders for not wearing helmets, following the completion of its installation. Helmets have been mandatory for both riders and pillion passengers, but enforcement has primarily targeted the motorcycle rider. This change aims to enhance road safety for two-wheeler passengers.
The traffic department is currently updating its system to include this provision. A fine will be imposed on the vehicle owner for any violation detected through the traffic department's app or cameras installed under the Integrated Traffic Management System (ITMS). The violation can be recorded with photographic proof taken by traffic personnel.
The system's data transfer was suspended since September 21 while data was being transferred to a new server. Once the system is fully operational, pillion riders without helmets will face e-challans.
