Lahore Traffic Police has launched a new initiative to improve the supply of public service and working conditions for traffic guards beginning with the installation of high -tech traffic kiosks in major urban crimes.

Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Dr. Athar Waheed said the first kiosk is installed on Difhane Chowk on Mall Road and offers facilities such as motorcycle license issuing and driver’s license.

He said the move is aimed at bringing traffic services closer to citizens while protecting staff across harsh weather conditions.

The kiosks are equipped with air conditioning, drinking water and rest areas for departments, allowing them to work in a safer and more comfortable environment.

Each kiosk will also be equipped with a speaker system for traffic management messages. Traffic guards will be deployed around the clock in three shifts.

“All traffic -related services will be available at these kiosks, making the system more citizen friendly,” Dr. Waheed.

The initiative is inspired by models used in developed countries and gradually rolled out.

Following Difhanes Chowk, kiosks are installed in other parts of Lahore, including Mall Road, Gulberg and Iqbal Town.

The project is monitored by the SP headquarters Mansoor-Ul-Hassan under Directives from Chief Minister of Punjab.
