On Wednesday morning, thick fog caused significant disruptions across several cities, leading to the temporary closure of multiple motorway sections, as reported by Motorway Police spokesperson Imran Ahmed.
The affected motorways include key routes such as the M1, which connects Peshawar to Rashkai, the M2 linking Lahore to Hiran Minar, and the M3 from Lahore to Jaranwala. The closures were necessary to ensure the safety of travelers due to the reduced visibility caused by the dense fog.
Motorists have been urged to limit their travel to daylight hours and avoid unnecessary journeys, as visibility remains poor in many areas. In addition, drivers are strongly advised to maintain a safe distance from other vehicles and adhere to the prescribed speed limits to minimize the risk of accidents. The Motorway Police have emphasized the importance of cautious driving under these challenging weather conditions.
Travelers requiring assistance or seeking real-time updates regarding road conditions are encouraged to reach out to the Motorway Police helpline at 130. The authorities are actively monitoring the situation and will continue to provide updates as the fog clears and conditions improve.
This latest weather-related disruption highlights the ongoing need for caution while driving in foggy conditions, particularly on major motorways, where traffic congestion and low visibility can pose serious risks to road safety.
