Lahore officials have banned vehicles emitting smoke from using highways, with traffic police and the Environmental Protection Agency collaborating to enforce the ban. SSP headquarters Syed Nadeem Abbas sent a directive to all CTOs and DPOs, warning strict action will be taken against offenders. He emphasized no smoke-emitting vehicle will be permitted on the road.
The joint effort between traffic police, EPA, and transport department will crack down on open vehicles carrying sand, debris, and husk. Vehicles transporting construction materials must be covered with tarpaulin. All motorbikes, cars, and commercial vehicles are required to keep headlights and taillights operational. Reflective tapes and stickers must be installed on commercial and heavy vehicles, loaders, and tractor-trolleys.
The crackdown will also target overspeeding, racing, and dangerous driving, with increased enforcement of parking regulations. Heavy vehicles will be prohibited from parking on carriageways and road shoulders in foggy areas. Drivers will be educated to maintain safe distances, reduce speeds, and use fog lights.
