The Lahore Development Authority (LDA) has announced new traffic management measures to improve safety and reduce congestion outside schools and educational institutions within its jurisdiction.
Under the plan, the LDA will designate specific lanes for vehicles to drop off and pick up students, ensuring that these operations do not block main roads, thereby maintaining smooth traffic flow.
The LDA director general has also ordered officials to remove encroachments outside schools and academies, which have been narrowing roads and disrupting traffic, especially during peak hours.
To enhance safety for students and other road users, the LDA will install zebra crossings and place traffic signboards to provide clearer instructions for motorists.
The initiative also involves identifying and addressing traffic problems around educational institutions to improve vehicle movement and protect students.
The measures are designed to reduce congestion during school arrival and departure times, making the surrounding roads safer for children and other road users.
The LDA will continue to monitor and adjust these measures as necessary to ensure they effectively address the identified traffic issues.
The new traffic management measures are part of a broader effort by the LDA to improve the overall traffic situation in Lahore, particularly in areas with high concentrations of schools and educational institutions.
