Dense Fog Triggers Traffic Advisory In Rural Jammu, Motorists Urged To Drive With Caution

In view of dense fog prevailing across several areas over the past two days, Traffic Police Rural Jammu on Saturday issued a detailed traffic advisory, warning commuters of poor visibility and heightened risk of road accidents and congestion.

According to the advisory issued by SSP Traffic Rural Jammu, motorists have been advised to exercise maximum caution while driving in foggy conditions.

Drivers have been urged to use low-beam headlights or fog lights instead of high beams, reduce speed, and maintain a safe following distance of at least 4-6 seconds.

The advisory also stresses the importance of keeping headlights on, windshields clean, and using defrosters to avoid internal fogging.

Traffic Police further advised commuters to strictly follow traffic signs, lane markings, reflectors and cautionary signages, maintain lane discipline, avoid unnecessary overtaking, sudden braking or sharp turns, and remain alert for pedestrians, cyclists and slow-moving vehicles. Extra caution has been advised at junctions, flyovers, highway exits and interchanges.

Motorists have also been asked to avoid non-essential travel during extremely poor visibility, allow extra travel time, keep mobile phones charged for emergencies, and use indicators well in advance while braking gently.

For assistance or information, commuters can contact Traffic Police Rural Jammu through the official helpline numbers or email. Traffic Police Rural Jammu reiterated its appeal to the public to prioritize safety and cooperate to prevent accidents during foggy weather conditions.
