ISLAMABAD – Pakistan has restored the previous speed limits for vehicles travelling on motorways and national highways, according to a notification issued by the Country-wide Highways Motorway Police ( NHMP). The announcement stated that the move has been made in accordance with directives issued by the government. The development has drawn significant attention from observers and officials across the country.

Notable Moments

A look at the history of this issue reveals why today's developments carry such weight.

Earlier, the speed limits were reduced as part of the fuel conservation campaign due to the Middle East conflict.

Under the revised arrangement, the speed limit for light transport vehicles ( LTVs) and motor cars on motorways has been set at 120 kilometres per hour, while the limit on national highways is 100 kilometres per hour.

Performance Analysis

The analysis from informed observers points to several important takeaways.

For heavy transport vehicles ( HTVs) and public service vehicles ( PSVs), the speed limit on motorways has been restored to 110 kilometres per hour, while the limit on highways is 90 kilometres per hour.

According to those with knowledge of the situation, the NHMP urged drivers to comply with the prescribed speed limits and all traffic regulations to help ensure road safety.

By the Numbers

What this means for Americans — and for the country as a whole — is becoming clearer.

Meanwhile, the Islamabad High Court has declared the government s determination illegal to reduce the speed limits, ordering the NHMP to refund all fines collected in this regard.

Further developments have shed additional light on the matter. iHC chief justice has reportedly remarked that there is no provision to reduce the speed in the law for the sake of savings, hence the speed limit order is unconstitutional.

Compounding the significance of these events, all fines imposed since March 26 must be refunded.
