Dense Fog Forces Closure of Lahore-Sialkot Motorway
Authorities shut down the Lahore-Sialkot Motorway M11 overnight as dense fog created hazardous driving conditions. Lahore-Sialkot Motorway closure occurred between Monday night and Tuesday morning to protect lives and property. The Motorway Police spokesperson confirmed the closure was necessary due to extremely poor visibility. Fog has also been reported in several cities along the National Highway network. Commuters face dangerous conditions with visibility dropping to critically low levels in affected areas. Authorities have issued clear warnings about lane violations leading to serious accidents during fog. Drivers must strictly follow lane discipline and avoid unnecessary risks.
Safe Travel Timings Established for Commuters
The Motorway Police has defined safe travel timings between 10:00 am and 6:00 pm. Visibility improves significantly during these daylight hours for safer journeys. Citizens planning travel have been instructed to prefer daytime journeys whenever possible. Night travel should be avoided entirely during dense fog conditions. Drivers are advised to use fog lights properly when visibility deteriorates. Reducing speed and maintaining safe distance from vehicles ahead is essential. These precautions can prevent chain reaction accidents in low-visibility conditions.
Guidance for Affected Travelers
The public should avoid unnecessary travel until weather conditions improve substantially. Those who must travel should plan their journeys within the recommended time window. The Motorway helpline 130 is available for guidance and assistance during fog-related disruptions. Operators can provide real-time updates on road conditions and closures. Travelers can call for help if they encounter difficulties on affected routes. The authorities continue monitoring weather conditions and will update advisories accordingly. Motorists are urged to prioritize safety over convenience during this foggy period.
