Islamabad is implementing a strict new traffic policy effective October 1, 2025. Under this policy, drivers without a valid license will face immediate arrest, their vehicles will be seized, and they will face legal charges. This measure aims to improve road safety and reduce traffic violations in the capital city.
The new policy applies to all drivers operating vehicles without a valid license, including both private and government vehicles. Authorities have emphasized that there will be no exceptions, and personal guarantees will not be accepted to release arrested drivers. This marks a significant shift in enforcement practices, aiming to deter unlicensed driving.
In addition to arrest and vehicle seizure, unlicensed drivers will be barred from obtaining character certificates until they secure a valid license. This restriction could impact government employees and individuals requiring such certificates for official purposes. Authorities have urged all residents to obtain or renew their driving licenses promptly to avoid penalties.
To ensure compliance, special traffic police teams will be deployed across Islamabad, conducting checks at major roads, intersections, and entry points to the city. Traffic police offices will also offer licensing services to assist government employees in obtaining their licenses before the October 1 deadline. Public awareness campaigns are underway to inform citizens about the new policy and encourage timely compliance.
This enforcement drive is part of broader efforts by Islamabad authorities to improve road discipline, reduce accidents, and strengthen traffic management across the city. By targeting unlicensed drivers, the government aims to ensure that only trained, licensed individuals operate vehicles, thereby enhancing overall road safety.
