Reports circulating on social media claiming a motorway speed limit change has taken effect are inaccurate. The National Highways and Motorway Police confirmed that the current restriction remains firmly in force. This clarification comes amid growing speculation that the government had reinstated the previous motorway speed limit for cars and light transport vehicles.

Pakistan first reduced speed limits on motorways and national highways back in March 2026. Officials introduced the change as part of measures aimed at conserving fuel. The move also aimed to improve energy efficiency during a period of elevated global oil prices.

Under the revised rules, the motorway speed limit for cars and light transport vehicles dropped from 120 km/h to 100 km/h. Meanwhile, the limit for passenger and heavy transport vehicles fell from 110 km/h to 90 km/h. These adjustments applied broadly across the motorway network.

Recent reports suggested that authorities had decided to restore the previous 120 km/h limit. However, a Motorway Police spokesperson clarified that no such decision has been implemented so far. The existing speed restrictions, therefore, continue to apply without exception.

This is not the first time speed limit rumors have circulated since the original reduction took effect. Still, officials have consistently maintained that the lower limits remain necessary for now. Meanwhile, drivers are advised to follow the current restrictions until any official notification states otherwise.

For now, no motorway speed limit change has occurred, despite the claims spreading online. Finally, the Motorway Police’s statement should help settle the confusion, at least until authorities announce any future adjustments to the existing rules.
