On Thursday, Abu Dhabi and Dubai were most affected, with fog covering almost all the parts of the emirates, including Al Maktoum International Airport, Al Shahama , Al Rahbah and over Abu Dhabi – Al Ain Road.
The police activated speed reduction system on Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed International road, Al Wiqan - Al Qoua road, Abu Dhabi - Sweihan road and Abu Dhabi - Al Ain road.
The police have reminded all drivers to comply with the instructions shown on smart towers. Speed limits are automatically reduced on Abu Dhabi roads and highways during adverse weather or foggy conditions.
Motorists should listen to awareness messages provided by traffic authorities to drivers through social media sites and other communication channels to stay safe.
Drivers are urged to increase the distance between their vehicles and the one in front of them to avoid accidents and to never overtake/change lanes in low visibility conditions.
The penalty for not adhering to safe driving instructions during fog is Dh500 and four black points, according to the Federal Traffic Law.
