The traffic police's conduct in Lahore needs to be improved. So many times, the forklifts used to remove vehicles parked in prohibited areas lack registration plates – almost as though they are exempt from being considered vehicles themselves. Furthermore, I've observed a rather paradoxical scenario where these forklifts, intended to enforce no-parking zones, are themselves parked in these no-parking zones. This is not only a disregard for the law but also undermines the credibility of the city’s traffic police.
To cultivate a culture of law-abiding citizens, we must first make adherence to traffic laws a societal value. This, in turn, requires the traffic police to serve as a model of compliance. Merely imposing fines, especially when the traffic police itself are frequently guilty of lawbreaking, is unlikely to yield the desired results.
