Motorway Speed Limit Change: Violators Face Fines & FIRs

The National Highways & Motorway Speed Enforcement (NHMP) has announced a strict new policy to curb overspeeding on motorways across Pakistan. As per the latest directives, vehicles exceeding 150 km/h will be completely banned from the motorway, with both Motorway Fines and an FIR for Speeding being registered against violators.

Speed Limit Change & New Regulations

As per the official statement from the Motorway Police:

>> The Motorway Speed Limit for cars on three-lane motorways has been set at 120 km/h.

>> Public service vehicles, including buses and vans, must adhere to a maximum speed of 110 km/h.

This measure is part of a targeted initiative led by IG Motorway Police, Riffat Mukhtar Raja, aimed at curbing excessive speeding. The campaign focuses on improving road safety and minimizing fatal accidents on Pakistan’s highways and motorways.

To enforce Traffic Violation Penalties more effectively, speed monitoring systems on national highways will be upgraded. Additionally, reinforced safety barriers and fencing will be implemented to reduce accident risks. The Motorway Police remain committed to ensuring secure and regulated travel for all motorists.

Motorway Toll Increased by 25%?

Earlier this month, the National Highway Authority (NHA) announced a Traffic Law Updates policy for motorway toll collection in Pakistan. As per the latest notification dated January 31, 2025, the NHA will enforce a 100% M-Tag regime on all motorways, making it mandatory for all vehicles to use M-Tags for toll payments.

Starting from February 1, 2025, vehicles without an M-Tag or those with insufficient balance will be charged an additional 25% toll fee over the standard rates. Moreover, a minimum surcharge of Rs. 50 will be applied, ensuring compliance with the New Traffic Rules.

This policy is part of an initiative to transition the motorway toll collection system towards full automation, reducing cash transactions and ensuring smoother traffic flow. Meanwhile, the crackdown on Motorway Speeding Fines is a crucial step to improve road safety and prevent accidents caused by reckless driving.
