Karachi Announces New Rules for Heavy Traffic

The Commissioner Karachi Division, Syed Hassan Naqvi, has imposed a complete ban on the movement of heavy vehicles on Jinnah Avenue, from Super Highway (M-9 Karachi–Hyderabad Motorway) near Saima Pari Classic and Rufi Global City up to Malir Halt and Shahrah-e-Faisal.

The decision, issued under Section 144 of the CrPC, aims to ensure smooth traffic flow and improve road safety across the city. The ban was implemented following a request from the Deputy Inspector General of Police (Traffic), Karachi, and recommendations from the Secretary of the Regional Transport Authority (RTA).

According to the notification, heavy traffic must now use the designated alternate route — Link Road (Eastern Bypass) from Kathore, Super Highway (M-9) up to Sassi Toll Plaza, National Highway (N-5). The alternate route will remain open for the movement of heavy vehicles during permitted hours to prevent congestion on major city roads.

The notification also stated that the new amendments will remain in effect for the same duration as the previous order dated October 17, 2025. The decision covers all local limits within Karachi Division and is aimed at ensuring safer, more efficient traffic management in the city.
