The Punjab Traffic Police has warned motorcyclists to follow road safety rules strictly. Authorities have announced a Rs2000 fine for riders using motorcycles without working turn indicators.
Officials said the new crackdown aims to improve road safety across the province. They stressed that turn indicators are important for safe driving and help prevent accidents.
According to the traffic police, motorcyclists who ignore this rule will face a Rs2000 fine. The department said there will be no leniency for violators during the enforcement campaign.
Traffic officials explained that missing or damaged indicators create serious risks on the road. Riders who fail to signal while turning can confuse other drivers. This can lead to accidents and injuries.
The department said turn indicators are a basic safety feature. They help communicate direction changes to other vehicles and pedestrians. Without them, road movement becomes more dangerous.
Officials also pointed out that repairing or replacing indicators is not expensive. The estimated cost of fixing indicators is around Rs400. They said spending a small amount on maintenance can save lives and prevent legal penalties.
Along with the Rs2000 fine, the Punjab Traffic Police reminded riders about other safety rules. Wearing a helmet remains mandatory for all motorcyclists. Authorities also advised regular bike maintenance for safe travel.
The police said proper brakes, lights, and mirrors are essential for road safety. These steps can reduce accidents and improve traffic discipline.
The awareness campaign is part of wider road safety efforts in Punjab. Traffic police have been working to reduce accidents and improve compliance with traffic laws.
Officials said enforcement teams will increase checking at major roads and intersections. Riders found violating rules, including faulty indicators, will be fined immediately.
The Punjab Traffic Police urged all motorcyclists to act responsibly. They said following traffic laws protects not only riders but also their families and the public.
