Road signs in Pakistan are laid out in the Manual of Signs, Signals and Markings published by the National Transport Research Center and the Planning Commission in 1989. [1] They are typically bilingual, displaying text in English and Urdu. However, some signs incorporate a provincial language. Pakistan drives on the left.

There have often been complaints about road signs and infrastructure not being up to date in some parts of the country, with a traffic report in 2008 disclosing that local governments in many cases have not addressed damaged, vanished or outdated road regulatory signs.[ citation needed ] In Lahore alone, the report estimated that at least Rs. 800 million were required to furnish all scanty road signs in the city.[ citation needed ]
