The National Highways and Motorway Police (NH&MP) have launched a strict campaign against over-speeding, especially for vehicles going over 150 km/h on motorways.
Following new orders from IGP Riffat Mukhtar Raja, any vehicle exceeding this limit will be stopped immediately. Drivers will face heavy fines, and FIRs will be registered in serious cases. The current speed limit on three-lane motorways is 120 km/h for cars and 110 km/h for public transport vehicles.
This crackdown is part of a broader effort to improve road safety after the government increased fines for traffic violations. Over-speeding is a major cause of accidents, and these measures aim to reduce reckless driving and protect lives.
Additionally, the NH&MP has enforced stricter rules for vehicles without an M-Tag or those with insufficient balance. Such vehicles will now be charged an extra 25% toll tax. Officials urge all drivers to follow speed limits and ensure their M-Tag accounts are properly funded to avoid penalties.
Authorities emphasize that these steps are necessary to make highways safer for everyone. Motorway police will continue monitoring traffic with modern equipment, including speed cameras, to catch violators. Drivers are advised to drive responsibly, as strict actions will be taken against those who break the rules.
By enforcing these new measures, NH&MP hopes to encourage safer driving habits and reduce accidents on Pakistan’s motorways.
