The Islamabad Capital Territory administration has started installing advanced M-Tag readers across major entry and exit points, marking the beginning of a citywide enforcement system that will automatically detect vehicles traveling without an M-Tag. Officials say the move aims to streamline traffic regulation and strengthen digital toll monitoring in the federal capital.
Installation & Background
Deputy Commissioner Irfan Memon and the Director General Safe City inspected several locations on Monday to review installation progress and ensure the system operates smoothly once enforcement begins. The officials observed live demonstrations of how the readers flag unregistered vehicles and coordinated plans for seamless operations.
Enforcement Phase & Facilitation
The deputy commissioner said police teams stationed near the checkpoints would stop vehicles flagged by the system. He urged motorists to secure their M-Tag at the earliest to avoid inconvenience or legal issues during the enforcement drive.
To facilitate the public, the administration has set up 10 M-Tag registration centers in high traffic areas to ease the process for residents. Authorities said these centers were placed strategically to maximize accessibility and reduce crowding.
Officials added that once the system becomes fully operational, vehicles found on the road without an M-Tag may face heavy fines or possible impoundment. The Safe City project is also finalizing technical integration to ensure accurate vehicle identification across Islamabad’s surveillance network.
