The National Highways & Motorway Police (NHMP) has rolled out new speed regulations to improve road safety and reduce accidents. These changes introduce strict penalties for drivers exceeding the set speed limits on motorways. If a vehicle is caught driving above 150 km/h, the driver will face heavy fines and possible legal action.
Under the updated rules, cars on three-lane motorways must not exceed 120 km/h, while public transport vehicles, such as buses and vans, must stay under 110 km/h. This initiative, led by Inspector General Riffat Mukhtar Raja, is part of a larger effort to promote responsible driving and prevent reckless behavior on the roads.
To ensure these new rules are followed, authorities are stepping up speed monitoring on highways and motorways. More cameras and speed-checking devices will be installed, and strict action will be taken against those who break the limits. Additionally, improvements such as safety barriers and better fencing will be introduced to minimize accident risks and make traveling safer for everyone.
In addition to speed control, the National Highway Authority (NHA) has implemented a digital toll system, making M-Tag registration mandatory for all vehicles. From February 1, 2025, vehicles without an M-Tag or those with insufficient balance will have to pay 25% extra in toll charges, with a minimum surcharge of Rs. 50. This system aims to reduce cash transactions, speed up toll collection, and improve traffic flow.
With these new regulations, authorities hope to create safer and more efficient roads across Pakistan. By enforcing speed limits and introducing modern toll systems, they aim to protect lives and provide a smoother driving experience for all travelers.
