From overspeeding to overloading: Here’s what you need to know before travelling on the motorway

Violating traffic rules on the motorway will cause a bigger dent on your pocket now, after the the Ministry of Communications revised the fines for traffic violators.

Speeding will now cost you a fine of Rs1,500 if you’re on a motorcycle and Rs2,500 for a car. Public Service Vehicles, taxis, buses or even Careem and Uber, will have to pay Rs10,000 for speeding. If they drive more than 40km/h over the speed limit, the fines will be even higher.

Violating traffic signals also costs more now. Jumping a red light will result in a fine of Rs 5,000. If you drive through a flashing red light, it’ll cost you Rs2,000 and driving through a flashing yellow light will cost you Rs1,000.

If buses and coaches will have more passengers than the allowed number of people then it will be fined Rs5,000.

Rs,5000 for driving at night without proper lights.
