In view of the Test matches between Pakistan and South Africa scheduled to take place starting on October 20, the Islamabad Traffic Policy has issued a travel advisory along with details of alternative traffic routes.
During the matches, cricket teams will travel between Islamabad and Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, with 310 traffic officers deployed across key routes to manage traffic and ensure minimal disruption to commuters.
To make it easier for citizens, the capital’s traffic police have proposed an alternative traffic route:
- Commuters traveling from Margalla Road towards Khanna should use Faisal Avenue via Blue Area, Club Road and Lehtrar Road.
- For those heading towards Sectors G-9, G-10, G-11 and Tarnol, use Faisal Avenue via F-10 Road.
- Travelers coming from Rawalpindi Saddar to Islamabad are advised to use Srinagar Highway via Peshawar Morr.
- Motorists using IJP Road to enter Islamabad should take Sabzi Mandi Road instead.
Islamabad Traffic Police will be present on service roads to guide commuters and ensure smooth traffic flow.
Traffic jams may occur on the expressway and the Srinagar Expressway during the morning office and school hours, as well as during the evening rush hour.
Citizens have been asked to allow extra travel time during peak hours and remain patient. Islamabad Traffic Police has assured that they will do everything possible to minimize inconvenience to the public.
Traffic updates will be provided through Islamabad Police social media pages and FM radio 92.4. In case of emergency, contact Pukar-15 or Traffic Helpline on 1915.
