Rawalpindi: City Traffic Police (CTP) Rawalpindi advised drivers to utilise fog lights when driving their vehicles at night due to the smog/fog that has covered the majority of Punjab’s cities.

City Police Officer Rawalpindi Tamoor Khan has urged the public to exercise caution behind the wheel and adhere to posted speed limits when travelling on highways, motorways, and in open spaces covered in heavy haze or fog. He advised drivers to attempt to travel during the day and to avoid travelling at night when advising them on road safety.

Tamoor Khan promised that in foggy or smoggy conditions, all available resources would be used to offer safe and sound passage for road users.

City Police Officer emphasised the need for residents to take preventative steps and adhere to traffic laws, saying that the haze is causing eye infections and other health difficulties in road users, particularly motorcycle riders.

The Motorway Police have outlined specific travel guidelines, advising motorists to restrict journeys to daylight hours. Authorities identified 10:00am to 6:00pm as comparatively safer travel windows when visibility tends to improve.

Drivers have been urged to switch on fog lights, reduce speed, and maintain safe distances from other vehicles. Officials also cautioned against unnecessary travel, stressing that precaution remains the most effective safeguard during extreme weather.
