Islamabad – Peshawar Motorway, Interchange and E-tag:

Pakistan Motorway:

Pakistan's motorway plan is originally envisaged by Mr. Nawaz Sharif Former Prime Minister of Pakistan, to provide a countrywide link of limited access high-speed highway to bring most parts of the country together, which could result in greater economic growth, commercial activities and trade with ECO states. It is predicted that such a system of modern infrastructure would allow and enable Pakistan to stride into the 21st century prepared with a first place communication system.

Pakistan now connects the list of the countries where a state of the art e-Toll system is being used. 

On national highways and motorways. Currently, the system has been introduced on Peshawar - Islamabad, and Islamabad – Lahore, and Burhan and Faisalabad Motorways. This technology allows vehicles to pass through the toll plaza without delaying. The toll sum is automatically deducted from prepaid e-Toll accounts. With e-Toll System, the line at tollbooths is minimized and vehicles just travel through dedicated E-Toll lanes on the selected points at the Motorway.

This system is enabling the citizens to bypass the toll line in the usual manual tollbooth systems to reach their destinations easily.

Motorway E-Tag:

E-Tag is the electronic toll system at motorway in Pakistan in which the toll tax is automatically deducted from the chip that is attached to the screen of the vehicle. It makes easy free entry and exits from motorway interchanges and you do not need to wait in lines to pay the toll fee physically.
