PESHAWAR – Travel chaos erupted in KP as dense fog forced closure of Motorway M-1 from Peshawar to Rashakai Interchange.
The sudden weather disruption caused major traffic interruptions and raised safety concerns for those planning inter-city travel.
Authorities warned that visibility on the motorway is limited, making travel extremely hazardous. Motorway officials have urged the public to avoid all non-essential journeys until the fog clears.
This unexpected weather event comes as residents brace for potential delays and disruption across the region’s key transport routes. Officials continue to monitor conditions closely and have assured that the motorway will reopen once it is safe to resume travel.
Traveling on a motorway in fog requires caution due to major risk of accidents. Drivers should reduce speed well below the limit, maintain a longer following distance, and avoid sudden braking.
Use low-beam headlights or fog lights, and never high beams and ensure your rear lights are on. Stay in your lane, and avoid unnecessary lane changes. Signal early and brake gently so other drivers can react.
If visibility becomes too poor, pull over safely at a Motorway police site or other safe site or fuel pump with hazard lights on, never stopping in traffic lanes. Make sure your vehicle’s windscreens, mirrors, lights, and wipers are clean and functioning.
