According to a traffic police spokesperson, the influx of vehicles created significant challenges, but efforts were made to manage the situation. More than 200 traffic police officers were deployed to assist visitors and maintain order. While 53,000 vehicles entered Murree throughout the day, many left after a short stay, resulting in an estimated 6,000 to 9,000 cars being present at any given time.

To ensure safety and smooth traffic flow, driving licenses were checked at entry points, and motorcyclists without helmets were denied entry. Additionally, access to Mall Road was restricted to families only on Independence Day.
