Tepa was also given the responsibility of removing extra poles and boards from all roadways and inspecting and painting lane markings at traffic signals by Commissioner Maqsood. He emphasized that a workable traffic engineering design is necessary to maintain traffic flow in the city. The chief minister has given specific directions for extensive traffic interventions in Lahore, and practical steps are being implemented in response.
The commissioner added that a thorough plan for traffic education and awareness is necessary in addition to modifications to the layout of the roads and signals. He underlined that parking should only be permitted in designated areas of businesses, and that it is imperative that this regulation be followed. Numerous strategies, such as patchwork, new signage, boards, spike barriers, and altered road designs, will be used to improve traffic flow.
