Tehran Announces New Traffic Regulations, Restricting Motorcycle Access in Central Zones
In a significant move to overhaul urban transportation, Tehran’s Traffic and Transportation Organization has unveiled a new supplementary bill set to impose stricter regulations on motorcycle access within the city’s central traffic zone.
New Regulatory Framework
According to Pouria Alimardani, the CEO of Tehran’s Traffic and Transportation Organization, the bill is currently under review by the City Council. The proposed legislation establishes specific rates and introduces new limitations aimed at controlling the flow of motorcycles in the restricted traffic area. This initiative was reportedly anticipated within the framework of the city’s broader traffic plan for the upcoming Iranian year.
Implementation Timeline
Alimardani emphasized that, pending approval, the new regulations could be implemented in the final months of the current year. He confirmed that the restrictions will definitively become part of the city’s official traffic plan in the next year. The core of the new policy involves a prohibition on motorcycles entering the designated traffic control zone, marking a decisive step in the city’s long-term traffic management strategy.
This development reflects ongoing efforts to modernize urban infrastructure and address complex transportation challenges in the capital.
