The Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) has proposed a Rs15,000 fine for motorists driving in the wrong direction on the city’s main roads.

Karachi City Wardens will enforce measures to reduce traffic violations and enhance public safety. Karachi Mayor Barrister Murtaza Wahab and the Karachi Task Force await approval at the upcoming KMC council meeting.

Mayor Wahab emphasised that the strict enforcement of the Karachi wrong-way driving fine is critical to preventing accidents and ensuring smoother traffic flow. “We urge all motorists and motorcyclists to follow traffic rules and cooperate with enforcement personnel,” he said, highlighting the need for collective responsibility to maintain road safety.

The announcement comes in response to a concerning increase in road accidents. In February 2025, Karachi recorded 73 fatalities, including eight women and five children, along with over 700 serious injuries, more than 90 of whom were women.

From January to April 10, 2025, the toll rose to 138 deaths (including 16 women and 14 children) and over 1,500 injuries, per the Edhi Information Bureau. These figures reflect only serious cases at major hospitals, with an estimated 500 daily injuries, mostly motorcyclists, treated across public and private facilities.

The crisis, which averaged 2.5 deaths and 25 injuries daily in February, is driven by reckless driving, unregulated heavy vehicles such as dumpers, and insufficient traffic enforcement. KMC’s proposed fine addresses these issues and mitigates the city’s growing road safety problems.
