LAHORE: The City Traffic Police Lahore’s AI-powered enforcement system has recorded 26m motorcycle movements during the last 15 days across the city, revealing an impressive 98.68pc helmet compliance rate.

The citizens have been urged to avoid one-way violations and rash driving to prevent inconvenience.
