Meanwhile, the foggy conditions have driving difficult in the provincial capital and experts have cautioned them to drive carefully. They should obey fog-related warning signs, slow down before you enter fog, use low-beam headlights and fog lights for best visibility even in daytime, and be alert for other drivers who may have forgotten to turn on their lights.
"The drivers should watch for vehicles on the side of the roadway. Seeing taillights or headlights in front of you may not be a true indication of where the road is ahead of you. The vehicle may not be on the road at all. Use roadside highway reflectors as guides to determine how the road may curve ahead of you and also, avoid passing other vehicles. Don't stop along the side of the road, unless absolutely necessary," they added.
