In a collaborative effort to enhance road safety, foodpanda hosted a comprehensive traffic awareness session at its head office recently, organized under the directives of DIGP Traffic Karachi and SSP East, Amjad Hayat. Led by SI Masood Ahmed from the Tariq Road Traffic Section, the program focused on educating delivery partners about essential traffic laws and the importance of preventive measures while on Karachi’s busy streets. The initiative highlights foodpanda’s commitment to ensuring that its fleet is not only efficient but also highly compliant with the provincial traffic regulations.
During the training, riders received detailed briefings on critical safety protocols, including the mandatory use of helmets for both riders and pillions, ensuring bike fitness with functional mirrors and chain covers, and the strict use of original number plates. The session also addressed specific safety concerns such as avoiding overspeeding and one-way violations, navigating heavy vehicle blind spots, and protecting female passengers from clothing-related accidents. Additionally, riders were briefed on the new faceless e-challan system, emphasising the role of technology in modern traffic enforcement.
