The Karachi traffic authorities have decided to impose a strict helmet law on three major roads in the city in a bid to curb the rising number of motorcycle accidents.
According to DIG Traffic Pir Muhammad Shah, the police have identified three routes– Metropole to Clifton Bridge, PIDC to Saudi Consulate, and Shahrah-e-Faisal – where motorcycle riders will not be allowed to enter without wearing helmets.
“Motorcyclists without helmets will be turned back on three roads. We are initially making these three roads model roads,” said the DIG Traffic.
