National Highways of Pakistan

Pakistan has a nationwide network of national highways that are distinct from its motorways. The main difference between the two are that, unlike motorways, national highways are not controlled-access or limited access. As in the case of motorways, Pakistan's National Highway Authority is responsible for all national highways. National Highways are pre-fixed with the letter 'N' followed by a numeral or numerals and a hyphen in between, e.g. N-5.

Pakistan's National Highways include famous highways such as the G T Road, Indus Highway, Karakoram Highway and Makran Coastal Highway.

National Highways are also distinct from Pakistan's 'Strategic Highways', which begin with the prefix 'S' and are controlled by Pakistan's Ministry of Defence in the country proper and by the Pakistan Army in AJK.
