“Using state-of-the-art equipment such as spotters, the latest speed-checking cameras, surveillance drones, and body-worn cameras are operational to monitor the violations to keep traffic operations smooth.” The National Highways and Motorway Police (NHMP) officials said that providing the best services to the public on Motorways had been the top priority of the Motorway police.

He was of the view that more and more people should be made aware of traffic rules and all resources must be used to prevent accidents. Top performing officers would also be encouraged on monthly basis, he said.

The initiative is a part of a 5-year vision that includes the drive to modernize the National Highways and Motorways Police. It also includes other measures, such as enforcing speed limits, reviewing the existing traffic laws, and reforming the motorway personnel to adhere to the global motorway police best practices.

The Motorways in Pakistan continue to suffer from a lack of technologically sound equipment, training, and facilities essential to supervise the vast network of roads connecting various Pakistan cities.

According to the news report, “The system will be in place in a couple of weeks with the use of drone technology displayed at few points on the motorways. Pakistan will become the first country in the region to employ drone technology to supervise the highways and motorways network.”
