The City Traffic Police in Murree have implemented new standard operating procedures (SOPs) for school transport, prioritizing child safety. During a meeting chaired by Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Murree Syed Munir Ahmed Hashmi, authorities emphasized preventing overloading and speeding.
The new SOPs mandate fire extinguishers in all school vehicles, with regular inspections to ensure compliance. Transporters will face legal consequences for violating passenger limits, which vary by education level: 12 primary students, 10 middle-schoolers, and eight upper-middle-school children. Carry vans and pickups are limited to 12, 10, and eight children respectively.
Legal action will be taken against violators. Authorities have also adopted a zero-tolerance policy against overloading, speeding, and smoking while driving. Vehicles must not carry petrol in open containers.
A total of 40 school vehicles were placed on the green list, requiring verification of fitness certificates, route permits, and other documents. Teams from the Traffic Police Murree and Kotli Sattian will inspect school transport two to three days per week, checking vehicle safety and ensuring adherence to legal requirements.
