The Sindh High Court (SHC) has recently been informed by the Karachi Traffic Police that the e-challan system is currently operational only on roads where proper signage, lane markings, and infrastructure are fully established. This decision comes amidst several petitions challenging the implementation of the AI-based e-challan system, which critics argue was launched without adequate groundwork. The traffic police clarified that under-construction roads are excluded from the e-ticketing system until necessary upgrades are completed. They also mentioned that drivers can receive a 50% discount on fines if paid within 14 days, and traffic courts are being set up to enhance transparency in the process. As reported by Dawn, the SHC has adjourned the hearing until March 12, 2026, allowing more time for the provincial law officer to submit comments on behalf of other respondents. The police emphasized that enforcement will focus on clearly marked corridors, indicating that motorists should expect heightened scrutiny at key intersections. "If the Traffic Police position holds, enforcement via e-challan should remain concentrated on clearly signed, properly marked corridors," stated PakWheels, reflecting the current operational strategy.
