The speed is set at 60 kilometers per hour for motorcycles throughout the province, read the notification by the Transport and Mass Transit Department.

The notification is signed by Secretary Imran Sikandar Baloch, which instructs relevant authorities, including the Additional Inspector General of Police (Traffic) and district traffic officers, to ensure strict compliance.
