No Japan helped us make it...it's only a 1 Km long. It ain't even leaving the district let alone to Japan.

"Deadly sharp S turn ahead"

Bad translation OR bad planning?

No; these are the Salt Ranges. Your going from 100 down to at least down to 20 in some cases but many didn't bother to listen. Many have died on this piece of the M2.

Not sure why they made it like that; your technically going up a steep hill which lasts for a while.

roads are good in pakistan but empty. But that will change in the future of course, so it is a good investment for the future.

Hey,

nice pics man!!! the only thing I can say is that the roads look a little bit empty compared to what I am used to in the netherlands. 'friendship tunnel'; where is it situated??

cntower · July 17th, 2004, 07:31 PM

Empty yes; some were taken in the middle of nowhere and some are toll routes which were undercontruction.

Still traffic is low but it should increase overtime; people will have to start using it to get from one part of the city to another.

Here is a selection of roads and motoways from the UK:

The M25 London Orbital Motorway

The A1(M) in Cambridgeshire

The M60 Manchester Orbital motorway

The A13 in East London

The M5 near Birmingham

The M40 motorway

The M62 near Wakefield

(Underneath) The M6 Thelwall Viaduct

The M6 Toll, approaching a toll booth

The M8, between Glasgow and Edinburgh

The M3 motorway, Hampshire

What do you think of British highways?

Foreigners can't drive in China... only Chinese citizens. BTW, that highway through Shanghai is one of the coolest stretches of road I've ever been on. It was like an elevated highway through Manhattan. There were huge skyscrapers on both sides of it for miles!!
