KP Traffic Fines List 2026: Bike, Car, Rickshaw and Bus Fines, Plus Parking
KP traffic fines list 2026 from the Peshawar Traffic Police: no helmet Rs 1,000, mobile phone up to Rs 5,000, plus 30 common offences and all parking fines.
In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, riding a motorcycle without a helmet costs Rs 1,000, using a mobile phone while driving a car costs Rs 2,000, and driving on the wrong side costs a car driver Rs 2,000 and a bus or truck driver Rs 4,000. These figures come from the fine schedule on the Peshawar Traffic Police website, which lists 74 moving violations and 11 parking violations.
We read the whole schedule on 24 October 2026. Below are the 30 offences drivers meet most often, the full parking table, the overloading rules for goods vehicles, and two oddities in the table you should know before you argue with a slip.
KP fines depend on the vehicle, from rickshaw to heavy truck
Each offence has five amounts: motorcycle, car or jeep, tri-wheeler (rickshaw), light transport vehicle (LTV, such as a van or pickup) and heavy transport or public service vehicle (HTV or PSV, such as a bus or truck). Heavier vehicles usually pay more.
Rickshaws stand out. For most offences the tri-wheeler column shows Rs 200, whatever the offence. The main exceptions are bigger: driving without a licence, a fake licence, a route permit, a fitness certificate and a child on the front seat.
The page heads the schedule "Proposed traffic violation fines". It is what the traffic police publish today, but the heading gives no notification date. Treat it as the best public guide, and go by the amount printed on your challan if the two differ.
The 30 KP moving violation fines drivers meet most
Speeding and signal violations cost a motorcyclist Rs 500 and a car driver Rs 1,000. Mobile phone use costs Rs 1,000 to Rs 5,000. Juvenile driving and a fake licence carry the highest fines, up to Rs 10,000 for heavy vehicles.

All amounts are in rupees. "Not listed" means the schedule shows a dash for that vehicle.
Parking fines in KP are higher for cars above 1300cc
The parking table splits cars by engine size. A car up to 1300cc pays Rs 1,000 for parking on a footpath or in a no parking zone, and a bigger car pays Rs 1,500. Motorcycles pay Rs 200 to Rs 500.
| Parking offence | Bike | Car to 1300cc | Car over 1300cc | Rickshaw | LTV | HTV or PSV |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| More than 0.5 m from the kerb | 200 | 300 | 500 | 200 | 300 | 500 |
| On a footpath | 500 | 1,000 | 1,500 | 200 | 1,000 | 1,500 |
| Less than 0.5 m from another car | 200 | 200 | 500 | 200 | 300 | 500 |
| On a zebra crossing | 300 | 500 | 1,000 | 200 | 700 | 1,000 |
| Within 10 m of a stop sign | 200 | 300 | 500 | 200 | 300 | 500 |
| Within 10 m of an intersection | 200 | 300 | 500 | 200 | 300 | 500 |
| In a no parking zone | 500 | 1,000 | 1,500 | 200 | 1,000 | 1,500 |
| In front of an entrance | 300 | 500 | 1,000 | 200 | 500 | 1,000 |
| At a bus stop | 200 | 300 | 700 | 200 | 500 | 700 |
| On a bridge | 200 | 300 | 700 | 200 | 500 | 700 |
| On a side walk | 200 | 300 | 700 | 200 | 500 | 700 |
Overloaded goods vehicles face fines up to Rs 15,000 and impounding
Overloading is fined by how far over the limit the vehicle is. A light vehicle pays Rs 2,500 to Rs 7,500 and a heavy vehicle Rs 5,000 to Rs 15,000, and at the top band the vehicle is impounded for 15 days.
- LTV, 1 to 5 per cent over: Rs 2,500.
- LTV, 5.1 to 10 per cent over: Rs 5,000.
- LTV, 10.1 per cent and above: Rs 7,500, and the vehicle is impounded for 15 days.
- HTV, 1 to 5 per cent over: Rs 5,000. From 5.1 to 10 per cent: Rs 10,000.
- HTV, 10.1 per cent and above: Rs 15,000. Above 15 per cent it may not ply, and it is impounded for 15 days.
Transport operators should also note the route permit fine: Rs 5,000 for a rickshaw, LTV or HTV without one, and Rs 10,000 for a repeat. Driving with an expired fitness certificate costs Rs 1,000 to Rs 2,500, with impounding until a renewed certificate is shown.
Two seat belt rows in the KP schedule give different amounts
Row 55 fines a car driver Rs 1,000 for not wearing a seat belt. Row 63 fines a car Rs 500 when the driver and front passenger are not belted. If you are charged for a seat belt, check which row your slip cites.
We are not saying either figure is wrong. The table simply has both rows, and nothing on the page explains how they fit together. A child under 12 in the front passenger seat is a separate offence, Rs 500 for a car or rickshaw and Rs 1,000 for a heavy vehicle.
To see whether a ticket against you is on the system, use the KP e-challan check by ticket number. Fines elsewhere differ, so a driver crossing into Punjab should know the Punjab traffic fines list, and the motorway has its own schedule under the national highways penalties.

How we verified this
What we checked, where we read it, and what we could not confirm.
We read the full Traffic Fine Codes page of the Peshawar Traffic Police on 24 October 2026, in a Chrome window after the site's security check, and copied every amount above from its two tables. The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Police website links to the same traffic site. We could not find the notification date for the schedule, or confirm whether districts outside Peshawar use the same amounts, so check your own challan for the figure you owe.
