Understanding Speed Limits in Pakistan
Speed limits in Pakistan vary depending on the type of vehicle you are driving and the location (Motorway or Highway). The highest permissible speed is set for certain vehicles on motorways.
Based on information from the Pakistan Safety Council - PSC®, the general speed limits are as follows:
| Vehicle Class | Speed Limit | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Motor Cars/LTV | 120 km/h | Motorways |
| HTV/PSV | 110 km/h | Motorways |
| Motor Cars/LTV | 100 km/h | Highways |
| HTV | 90 km/h | Highways |
- LTV: Light Transport Vehicle (e.g., small vans, pickup trucks)
- HTV: Heavy Transport Vehicle (e.g., trucks, buses)
- PSV: Public Service Vehicle (e.g., passenger buses)
Key Points
- The absolute maximum speed of 120 km/h is specifically for Motor Cars and Light Transport Vehicles (LTV) when travelling on Motorways.
- Heavy Vehicles (HTV) and Public Service Vehicles (PSV) have slightly lower limits on Motorways (110 km/h) and significantly lower limits on Highways.
- Highways generally have lower speed limits compared to Motorways for all vehicle types.
Adhering to these speed limits is crucial for road safety and is enforced by traffic authorities.
