Road safety and mobility initiatives in Islamabad

Overview

In Islamabad, road safety and mobility efforts have focused on inclusivity and accessibility. The National Highways & Motorway Police (NHMP) collaborated with the National Mobility & Independence Training Centre to host a White Cane Safety Awareness Session. This event aimed to promote inclusive road safety practices and increase motorist awareness regarding the mobility needs of visually impaired individuals.

Following these efforts, the Islamabad Traffic Police introduced specific mobility programs. These include a temporary initiative allowing eligible college and university students to obtain motorcycle driving licences on the same day, bypassing the standard 42-day learner period. Additionally, the department launched a free scooter-riding training programme for women, supervised by female police officers, to build riding confidence and support economic participation through improved transportation options.
