ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Communications Abdul Aleem Khan has announced that vehicles older than 20 years will not be allowed on Pakistan’s motorways. This decision aims to reduce traffic accidents and ensure public safety.

According to a private TV channel, the minister visited the National Highways and Motorway Police headquarters in Islamabad. He inspected the command and control system and other departments. A guard of honor was presented to him. The minister prayed for the martyrs and paid tribute to their sacrifices.

During the visit, Abdul Aleem Khan reviewed various operations and expressed concern over the rising accidents on motorways. He stated that tough measures are needed to save lives, as accidents are repeatedly occurring at the same locations. He directed the Inspector General to develop a detailed plan to address this issue.

The minister clarified that the ban on vehicles older than 20 years will be strictly enforced. Additionally, there will be zero tolerance for overspeeding and violations of axle load limits.

These steps are being taken to improve road safety and protect lives in Pakistan.

In a related development, vehicles traveling above 150 kilometers per hour on motorways will be seized, with fines and FIRs imposed. According to the Motorway Police spokesperson, the speed limit on three-lane motorways is 120 kilometers per hour for cars and 110 kilometers per hour for public service vehicles.

Following the Inspector General’s instructions, a special campaign against overspeeding is underway, and monitoring of high-speed vehicles on national highways is being strengthened.

The Motorway Police spokesperson added that safety barriers are being installed on motorways to prevent accidents.
