The General Directorate of Traffic has renewed its call for motorists to reduce speed when visibility is low, and to follow safety guidelines and drive with caution.

In a statement, the authority said adjusting speed according to road and weather conditions helps ensure the ability to stop in emergencies. It also advised leaving sufficient distance between vehicles, and increasing that distance in rainy or dusty conditions.

The General Directorate of Traffic emphasized the importance of using appropriate lights, such as fog lamps or low beams, to ensure clear visibility for all road users. Motorists are urged to avoid using high beams, which can cause discomfort to others, and to stay in their designated lanes.
