Punjab Imposes 60 km/h Speed Limit on Motorcycles – Strict Action Against Violators
The Punjab Cabinet has officially set a maximum speed limit of 60 km/h for motorcycles across the province in an effort to improve road safety and reduce accidents. Following cabinet approval, the Transport Department has issued a formal notification, making the regulation legally binding. Under the new rule, motorcyclists found exceeding the speed limit will face strict legal action, including fines and other penalties. Authorities believe this measure will help curb reckless driving, which is a leading cause of road accidents, particularly among young riders. The government is expected to implement strict monitoring mechanisms to ensure compliance, including traffic cameras and police patrols. Public awareness campaigns may also be launched to educate riders on the importance of safe and responsible driving. The decision has received mixed reactions from the public, with some welcoming it as a necessary safety measure, while others argue it may slow down daily commutes. However, officials emphasize that road safety is a priority, and the regulation is meant to protect lives rather than inconvenience commuters. With enforcement now in place, motorcyclists are urged to adhere to the new speed limit to avoid penalties and contribute to safer roads in Punjab.
