The Karachi-Peshawar National Highway N-5 is the main transport highway link between the Karachi Port and up-country, connecting three provincial and industrial areas of Pakistan. Although the length of the N 5 is less than 10% of the total length of the country's intercity road network, 80% of the Nation's economic activity is concentrated in the N-5 corridor and 56% of the total road traffic in Pakistan uses the highway.
