Staying safe on the M-16
- Between Palai and Chakdara the motorway climbs and descends through the Malakand hills. Use a low gear going down and watch the temperature gauge going up, especially in a loaded car.
- Traffic to and from Swat can bunch up near the Chakdara end at holiday times. Leave a long gap and be ready for slow traffic as you approach the end of the motorway.
- Winter mornings can bring fog on the flat section near the M-1 and Mardan. Slow down, use low beams and fog lights, and never stop in a live lane to wait for it to clear.
- If you stop, park fully on the hard shoulder, switch on hazards, place a warning triangle well behind the car and wait behind the barrier. Motorway Police can be reached on 130.
- Call the Motorway Police helpline on 130 if you're in danger, then call us for recovery.
