Speed limits in Pakistan

Speed limits in Pakistan are similar to most European countries on newer roads with most highways at 120km/hr (equivalent to 75 MPH), and somewhat higher in the western areas of the country. There are some areas of the country with no enforced speed limit.

On the M2 and M1, the speed limit is 120 km/h.


On newly constructed motorways, and the recently constructed motorway M3 (Faisalabad), M2 and M1, the speed limit is 120 km/h (equivalent to 75 MPH [miles per hour]). In most urban residential areas, the speed limit is 40 km/h - 50 km/h (25-30 MPH). The G.T. Road's speed limit is 100 km/h (62.5 MPH). Urban arterial roads generally have an 80 km/h limit (50 MPH).[1] However, roads in the western portion of the country, as well as the N-5 in Pakistan has some portions where the enforced speed limit is 130km/h. The road that travels through the Suleiman Range of Balochistan, as well as the roads that are above Kuchlak towards Razmak have no enforced speed limit. In 2011, a viral video showed a person driving 240km/h in front of the police station in Razmak.
