A FEW weeks ago, yellow lines were drawn on Sharea Faisal exclusively for motorcyclists to improve the flow of traffic on this road. The mayor and officials made tall claims about this, saying it would bring a big change in traffic.

Sadly, not a single motorcyclist is using this facility. Instead, they drive dangerously, erratically switching from one lane to another. If one cannot implement this rule, then what was the use of this project? The traffic police are oblivious to this.

The authorities concerned should look into this and make sure motorcyclists follow this rule.
