ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: National Highways and Motorway Police (NH&MP) has asked motorists to avoid travel on Motorway at night during ongoing foggy weather conditions.
Talking to APP an official of the Motorway Police said that they should use the G T Road or any other suitable road in heavy fog besides keeping fog lights of their vehicles on and observe control over speed.
He said that safety of the motorists was top priority of the NH&MP and those sections of the motorway are closed where visibility falls to zero level.
