Lahore Traffic Police has launched a new initiative to improve public service delivery and working conditions for traffic wardens, beginning with the installation of high-tech traffic kiosks at major city intersections.
Chief Traffic Officer (CTO) Dr Athar Waheed said the first kiosk has been installed at Afshan Chowk on Mall Road and offers facilities such as motorbike licence issuance and driving licence collection.
He said the move is aimed at bringing traffic services closer to citizens while protecting on-duty personnel from harsh weather conditions.
The kiosks are equipped with air conditioning, drinking water, and rest areas for wardens, allowing them to work in a safer and more comfortable environment.
Each kiosk will also be fitted with a loudspeaker system for traffic control announcements. Traffic wardens will be deployed around the clock in three shifts.
“All traffic-related services will be accessible at these kiosks, making the system more citizen-friendly,” said Dr Waheed.
The initiative is inspired by models used in developed countries and is being rolled out gradually.
After Afshan Chowk, kiosks will be installed in other parts of Lahore, including Mall Road, Gulberg, and Iqbal Town.
The project is being monitored by SP Headquarters Mansoor-ul-Hassan under directives from the Chief Minister of Punjab.
