In recent years, both Punjab and Sindh Police have adopted a modern digital traffic management system to improve road safety and law enforcement. Through Safe City Cameras installed in major cities like Lahore, Karachi, Faisalabad, Multan, and Rawalpindi, authorities are now automatically detecting traffic violations such as overspeeding, signal jumping, lane violations, and wrong parking.
When a violation occurs, the camera captures the image of the vehicle, and the system automatically issues an electronic challan (e-Challan). The challan is then sent to the registered owner’s address and can also be checked online using CNIC or vehicle registration number.
