Measures 150feet on Google Earth


Lahore Ring Road - Serves as Lahore bypass Outer ring road
It is a Six lane road with service roads (nearly 8-lanes) circling Lahore city and more than 50km long

Ferozpur Road of Lahore also reaches 200feet on Google Earth (



New Multan Main Boulevard Road - Serves as New Multan City's main road and Inner Ring Road

M2 Motorway - Link Lahore to Islamabad
It is six lane free way, motorway and also called an expressway because no tragic enters or leaves without controlled interchanges
Measures 100feet on Google Earth



Korangi Road Karachi - was widest road at times

There is another way to measure in feet other than Google Earth (not reliable)
One lane = 10 - 12 feet but this may differ (so not very reliable)

Widest Road of Pakistan
According to lanes Islamabad Express Highway is widest as it is 10 lane but it is out of city and width is only 150feet
According to feet Korangi Rd Karachi is widest reaches 275feet but not all length and has wide green belts too
According to whole length New Multan main Road is Widest 200feet
M2 and Lahore Ring Road is again out of city roads and have 150feet and 200feet width and yes this width goes along whole length of roads
However Ferozpur Road Lahore is very wide and it is inside Lahore city too and is 200feet along most of its lenght
National Highway five or N5 or NH5 or Multan Road from Lahore to Multan is 4-lane 100feet and a small green belt in between. Many others are near of equal to 100feet width but no doubt N5 is longest Road of Pakistan if not widest.
