Abu Dhabi - Motorists are urged to follow the revised speed limits while driving in foggy weather.
Thick fog engulfed various parts of the UAE on Saturday morning, affecting the visibility.
The Abu Dhabi Police have announced speed reduction to 80kmph on major roads and urged motorists to be cautious while driving on foggy weather.
On its official Twitter page, the police said speed reduction system has been activated on Maktoum bin Rashid Road, Abu Dhabi-Dubai Road (Seih Al Sedirah - Sieh Shuaib) and Trucks Road (Al Faya).
“The Abu Dhabi Police call on motorists to exercise caution due to reduced visibility during the #fog. They are urged to follow changing speed limits displayed on electronic information boards,” social media posts issued by the police in various languages said.
