The department also urged drivers to abide by the traffic rules, especially in foggy conditions to avoid traffic accidents. 
It also tweeted a safety tip for motorists while driving in fog: "Don't use high beam lights which can distract other motorists."
It advised drivers not to use hazard lights during fog until they have come to a full stop on the right shoulder of the road.
Allow enough distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you when entering a foggy area and do not use hazard lights except for emergencies. #AbuDhabi pic.twitter.com/wGLFOnYGlR

Under the new traffic laws, driving in foggy conditions without using low or foggy lights are punishable by Dh500 fine and four black points..
Follow these tips and tricks to stay safe while driving on UAE roads during fog
> Increase the distance to the vehicle in front to five seconds - you must be able to stop within the distance of visibility!
> Turn on the lights: Low beam head lights, front and rear fog lights (no hazard lights!)
> Consider longer breaking distances due to wet or slippery roads
> Use your windscreen wipers (and maintain them properly!)
> Concentrate and do not get dis-tracted by your passengers, your phone or other things
> Listen to the radio for traffic updates
> Care for others, especially for weaker traffic participants like motorcycle drivers, bicycle riders and pedestrians
> Ask your passengers to help keep an eye out for oncoming cars and obstacles on the road
> Stay in your lane and don't drift - there's a natural tendency to wander into the middle of the road when visibility gets bad.
> Use right edge of the road as a guide - this can help you avoid running into oncoming traffic or being blinded by oncoming headlights.
> If you have no visibility, pull over to the side of the road, stop and turn on your hazard lights to alert other drivers of where you are, or pull into petrol stations or rest areas.
> Plan your trip properly and leave earlier or try not to be on the road at all, if possible. reporters@khaleejtimes.com
