Highways Leading to Peshawar Close for Traffic

APP

Peshawar: Like other parts of the country, main highways leading to Peshawar and other surrounding regions remained temporarily closed for traffic due to foggy conditions and cold waves on Friday.

Most districts of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, including Peshawar, remained covered in fog while the mercury level dropped to 5°C in the provincial capital with zero visibility in the morning.

Owing to dense fog, the National Highways and Motorways Police (NH&MP) temporarily closed the M1 Motorway from Peshawar to Rashakai, the Burhan Interchange, and the Swat Express Motorway.

Due to the fog and smog in the city, the district administration issued instructions to the citizens, urging them to restrict their movement in vehicles and, if necessary, use fog lights and keep headlights low.

Avoid frequent lane changes and maintain sufficient distance from the front vehicle on the road to avoid accidents. People are advised to contact helpline number 1915 for traffic-related information.
