The two ends of this stretch
- Islamabad Toll Plaza (M-2)Roughly km 0, near IslamabadBreakdowns here are close to the city, so a truck can usually reach the plaza approach quickly, but stay out of the toll lanes and move to the side area if the car still rolls.
- Thalian InterchangeRoughly km 9, near IslamabadWe often recover cars here on the way to or from flights, and can take the vehicle to a workshop while you continue your journey.
If you stop on this stretch
- Pull as far onto the hard shoulder as you can and switch on hazard lights.
- Everyone out on the side away from traffic, behind the barrier.
- Note your direction (towards Lahore or Islamabad) and the nearest km marker.
- Call the Motorway Police helpline 130 if you're blocking a lane or anyone is hurt.
- On the Salt Range descent between Kallar Kahar and Lilla, shift to a lower gear and let the engine hold your speed. Riding the brakes all the way down causes brake fade, especially in a loaded car.
- Climbing the Salt Range towards Islamabad in summer heats the engine hard. Turn off the AC if the temperature gauge climbs, and stop on the hard shoulder before it reaches the red.
