Speeding crackdown intensifies
Previously, the National Highways and Motorway Police (NHMP) stepped up enforcement in the central region by issuing more than 12,990 challans for speeding violations in March 2026.
The step had been taken as part of an ongoing crackdown.
The campaign came under a strict zero tolerance policy targeting speeding. The officials wanted to improve road safety and significantly reduce traffic accidents across the region.
According to the provided data, MC-1 Lahore recorded 5,641 fines for breaches of the newly placed speed limits.
In addition to this, the N-5 Central Zone in Lahore issued 3,597 challans during a targeted operation against traffic violations on highways.
