Usage of Motorways Rows
It is a good step of the Motorways Authorities to save the accidents and lives of the people. The Pindi Bhattian to Multan is a two-row motorway. There should have to implement speed reduction limits. In these two rows, HTV and LTV vehicles mostly use the outermost row. While in three-row motorways there are separate rows for LTVs and HTVs. The outermost row is for Heavy Traffic Vehicles while the Middle Row is for Light Traffic Vehicles. The innermost row is the express row and is usually used to cross the Middle row traffic.
