A strict ban on the use of pressure horns has come into effect across Punjab. Traffic authorities have directed officials to take action against violations.

The DIG Traffic issued instructions to all Chief Traffic Officers and District Traffic Officers. They were told to ensure strict enforcement across the province.

Officials will take action against vehicles using pressure horns in sensitive areas. These locations include hospitals, educational institutions and emergency centres.

The ban also covers restricted zones. Continuous and unnecessary honking will also face enforcement under the new directions.

Commercial vehicle owners have been warned to remove pressure horns from their vehicles immediately. Authorities said vehicle owners must comply with the instructions to avoid penalties.

Traffic authorities have already taken significant action against improper horn use. Official data shows more than 383,000 citizens were fined this year.

The penalties covered the use of pressure horns and continuous honking. Lahore Traffic Police alone issued around 48,000 challans for improper horn use.

Officials said excessive horn use contributes to noise pollution. It can also create serious health concerns for people exposed to loud sounds.

According to traffic authorities, excessive noise can affect human hearing. Continuous exposure may also have negative effects on neurological health.

The crackdown aims to create quieter and safer roads across the province. Authorities believe stronger enforcement can help reduce unnecessary noise.

The campaign against pressure horns has reportedly contributed to lower noise pollution. Traffic officials are continuing efforts to control excessive noise on major roads.

Drivers have been urged to follow traffic rules and avoid unnecessary honking. They should use their horns only when necessary for road safety.

Authorities have also called on citizens to cooperate with traffic police. Public support is considered important for making the ban effective.

Commercial transport operators have been specifically advised to check their vehicles. They should remove prohibited horns before operating on roads.

Traffic officials will continue monitoring roads and taking action against violations. The enforcement will focus on areas where excessive noise can cause greater harm.

Hospitals and educational institutions require quieter surroundings. Emergency centres also need clear and peaceful environments for their operations.

The ban is part of broader efforts to reduce noise pollution. It also aims to improve the quality of urban life.

Officials have stressed that responsible driving requires respect for other road users. Avoiding unnecessary honking can help create a more peaceful traffic environment.

The authorities have urged citizens to support the campaign. They said safer roads should also remain peaceful and environmentally friendly.

The ongoing crackdown shows the authorities’ focus on controlling excessive noise. Drivers are expected to follow the new restrictions and avoid violations.
