Expressways of Pakistan
Expressways of Pakistan are a network of multiple-lane, high-speed toll highways in Pakistan, which are owned, maintained and operated federally by the National Highway Authority or by local city administrations. Long distance expressways are usually upgraded versions of national highways but differ from motorways by having less access restrictions.
