Pedestrians were advised to cross roads carefully, wear bright or reflective clothing, and avoid walking near junctions and curves during low visibility. Two-wheeler riders were asked to wear reflective jackets, keep helmet visors clean, avoid sudden braking or lane changes, and not overspeed, especially in the mornings.
The police also cautioned motorists against using mobile phones while driving, using cruise control in fog, or making abrupt speed changes.
Drivers were told to follow lane markings, reduce speed near junctions and bends, and strictly adhere to traffic police instructions in fog-affected areas.
