He directed to install banners at markets, bazaars, and one-way points for the awareness of masses.

Rai Ijaz said on the occasion that One-Way violation caused traffic accidents. One-Way violators not only put their life in danger but other road users as well. A minor mistake can lead to a big loss, he added. Safe and sound journey is the first preference of Traffic Police. Respect the right of way, share roads, every road user has equal right of way on roads.
