Speed limits in Pakistan are similar to most European countries on newer roads with most highways at 120 km/h (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 newly constructed motorways, and the recently constructed motorway M3 (Faisalabad), M-2 and M-1, the speed limit is 120 km/h (75 mph). In most urban residential areas, the speed limit is 40–50 km/h (25–31 mph). The G.T. Road's speed limit is 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph). 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). 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 240 kilometres per hour (150 mph) in front of the police station in Razmak. The National Highway Authority has set the maximum speed limit on the motorway at 100 km/h.[citation needed]
