Abu Dhabi ban on trucks during fog

A comprehensive plan by Abu Dhabi Police's Traffic and Patrols Department is underway to restrict trucks and industrial vehicles in Abu Dhabi roads during times of heavy fog and low visibility.

According to Lt. Colonel Mohammed Rashid Al Shamsi, Director of Traffic Control at the Department, the plan entails intensifying traffic patrols in the city and highway roads during fog to enforce the ban on trucks, as well as promoting safe driving among motorists.

The plan comes on the heels of series of accident that took place recently due to fog in which seven people were killed and two sustained serious injuries.
