Great organised motor way and rest stops and I was impressed by how drivers signal changing lanes and driving in between the lanes (some thing you rarely see in most middle east countries. Pakistan progressing fast..I wonder how much a liter of gasoline is in Pakistan..it must be high because you do not see many cars in the highway.

I just saw the M-2 section of the video ..I worked in the ITS for the city of Minnesota and this implementation of ITS is very impressive. Is this Motor way a privately funded project. Who collects the tolls.

Its BOT (build, operate and Transfer) gives to FWO in 2014 for 35 years. Now all maintenance, tolling and services related to M-2 responsibility of FWO. For this purpose FWO made a whole subsidiary called MORE(Motorway Operations and Rehabilitation Engineering)

That is the way to go man..relying on governments to build and operate motorways with public funds is the thing of the past...let people to invest in the future of the country and make money while doing so.
