Besides driving on the left, does Pakistan follow the British convention for highway numbering?

Besides driving on the left, does Pakistan follow the British convention for highway numbering?

In Pakistan there are two system only .

N - National Highways
12,131 kilometers (7,538 mi) of roadways organized into various classifications which crisscross the country and provide access to major population centers.

National Highways are not to be confused with provincial highways, which are roads maintained by the respective provinces.

Pakistan's national highways include the famous Grand Trunk Road, Indus Highway, Karakoram Highway and Makran Coastal Highway.

All national highways in Pakistan are pre-fixed with the letter 'N' (for "national") followed by the unique numerical designation of the specific highway (with a hyphen in the middle), e.g. "N-5". Each numerical designation is separated by five numerals, i.e. N-5, N-10, N-15, etc. National Highways are distinct from Strategic Highways, which begin with the prefix 'S' and are controlled and operated by the Ministry of Defence.


M - Motorways ( Fenced )
There are 16 Highways numbered. At present, 2567 km of motorways are operational, while an additional 1191 km are under construction. Motorways are a part of Pakistan's “National Trade Corridor Project” and “China-Pakistan Belt Road Initiative,” from Khunjerab Pass near the Chinese border to Gwadar in Balochistan.

Appreciate that, thanks.

Good to have a frame of reference for comparison against the US nomenclature, which I'm sure you're well acquainted with as well as what I saw in Kenya. If anything, from your description, the Pak-US systems are very closely related.
