Motorway Speed Limits Restored to 120 km/h After Fuel Crisis Eases
Updated: 2:49 AM PKT — June 23, 2026
The government has withdrawn the temporary reduction in speed limits on all motorways and national highways, restoring them to their previous levels. The National Highways and Motorway Police confirmed the decision on Sunday.
The speed limit for cars and light transport vehicles (LTVs) on motorways is now back to 120 km/h, while the limit for public service vehicles and heavy transport vehicles (HTVs) has been restored to 110 km/h. Previously prescribed speed limits on national highways have also been reinstated.
The speed limits had been reduced as part of a series of austerity measures announced by the government to conserve fuel amid a global crisis triggered by regional conflicts.

In addition to motorways, the National Highways and Motorway Police (NHMP) have also reinstated previous speed limits on national highways across the country. The limit for cars and light transport vehicles (LTVs) on national highways is now 100 km/h, while for heavy transport vehicles (HTVs) it is 90 km/h.
Police clarified that the restored higher limits on motorways (120 km/h and 110 km/h) apply only to sections where they were previously in force, and drivers must continue to observe any lower posted speed limits on other sections.
