Urban arterial roads generally have an 80 km/h (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 130 km/h (81 mph).

As per the latest directives, vehicles exceeding 150 km/h will be completely banned from the motorway, with both a fine and an FIR being registered against violators.[2]
