US State Department Travel Warnings & Consular Information Sheets Pakistan - Consular Information Sheet http://travel.state.gov/pakistan.html December 12, 1997

Road Travel: Road travel in Pakistan is risky. Roads are crowded, drivers are aggressive and poorly trained, and many vehicles, particularly large trucks and buses, are badly maintained. In addition, roads, including major highways, are poorly maintained and often have numerous potholes, sharp drop-offs and barriers that are not sign-posted. Driving without experienced local drivers or guides is not recommended. For specific current information on road conditions along the Karakoram Highway, travelers may contact the Frontier Works Organization in Rawalpindi at tel. 92-51-566639.
