Fog shuts down several sections of motorways

Several sections of the motorways M3 and M5 in Lahore have been closed due to dense fog, according to the Motorway Police.

The Motorway Police said that the Motorway M3 from Faizpur to Rajana and the Motorway M5 from Sher Shah to Ouch Sharif are closed for traffic to ensure public safety and safe travel. Motorway M4 from Abdul Hakeem to Faisalabad has also been closed due to fog

The duration of fog on the national highways has increased with the cold weather, reducing visibility to less than 50 metres in some areas.

The Motorway Police advised the road users to prefer to travel during the maximum hours of the day when the fog is less likely to occur.

They also urged the drivers to use fog lights, keep a safe distance from other vehicles, and follow the traffic rules.
