The Karachi traffic authorities have decided to implement a strict helmet law on three major roads to tackle the rising number of motorcycle accidents. According to DIG Traffic Pir Muhammad Shah, the new rule will initially apply to Metropole to Clifton Bridge, PIDC to Saudi Consulate, and Shahrah-e-Faisal. Motorcyclists without helmets will be denied entry on these roads.
The Karachi motorcycle helmet law aims to ensure road safety and reduce accidents. The authorities have declared these three routes as model roads, where motorcyclists must wear helmets or face strict action. During Ramadan, an awareness campaign will be launched to educate riders about the importance of helmets. However, after Ramadan, strict fines and penalties will be imposed on violators.
Heavy Fines and New Locking System for Violators
To enforce the Karachi helmet rule, traffic authorities will introduce modern locking systems. Motorcycles parked in public places will be secured with these locks, and riders will only be able to unlock them after producing a helmet. Each section officer will be equipped with 50 modern locks to implement the system efficiently.
