People are advised not to travel in fog
Due to the current foggy weather and the high risk of road accidents, traffic police in Cyberabad and Rachakonda have asked people to avoid travelling in the early hours since visibility will be poor.
In an advisory, the police asked people to begin travelling in sunlight when visibility is clear. The advice is made in response to the risk of a road accident in the early morning hours, as well as the fatal accidents caused by foggy conditions in previous years.
The advisory is more specific for the Outer Ring Road, State Highways, and National Highways where fog is dense. “If already travelling, it is better to suspend travel during the early hours and take a break at a safer place. Otherwise, it is advisable to start the journey when there is proper sunlight in the morning and end travel by evening,” said Rachakonda DCP (Traffic) D Srinivas.
The police advise people to drive at appropriate speeds in relation to other vehicles and to keep a safe distance between themselves and other vehicles.
