The Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP) has finalized an islamabad traffic plan to manage the expected congestion during the upcoming Kashmir Solidarity gathering at F-10 Markaz. If you are planning to travel through the area, expect significant diversions and potential delays as authorities work to keep the main arteries flowing.
Understanding the islamabad traffic plan
The ITP issued the advisory on Monday, explicitly urging motorists to opt for alternate routes to minimize the impact on their daily commute. As the F-10 Markaz serves as a major commercial and transit hub, the gathering is expected to draw a large number of participants, naturally leading to restricted access points near the venue.
- Main access roads to F-10 Markaz will be cordoned off at key junctions.
- Heavy traffic will be diverted toward the Service Road North and South.
- Commuters heading toward F-11 or E-11 are advised to use the Srinagar Highway to bypass the immediate vicinity.
How to avoid the rush
If you live in or commute through the F-10 sector, the best strategy is to plan your departure ahead of time. The police have deployed additional personnel at major roundabouts to assist with the flow, but volume is likely to exceed capacity during peak hours. If your destination doesn't strictly require passing through the Markaz, stick to the main highways rather than taking internal sector roads that are likely to be clogged with participant vehicles.
What to watch next
Keep an eye on the official ITP social media channels for real-time updates. Traffic situations in Islamabad can change rapidly depending on the size of the crowd and the timing of the speeches. If you see a buildup, do not attempt to force your way through blocked checkpoints, as the police have strict orders to maintain security perimeters. Check back with Naya Pakistan for any late-breaking changes to these routes before you head out tomorrow.
