Extreme caution urged on Qatar roads as fog sinks visibility to under 50m

Authorities in Qatar are warning motorists to drive with great care this morning, due to foggy conditions that have made seeing traffic signals and other cars difficult.

According to the Qatar Meteorology Department (MET), visibility has dropped in some places to as low as – or even lower than – 50m.

This morning, the Ministry of Interior has also urged those who don’t feel comfortable driving in these conditions to pull over until visibility improves:

Some drivers appear to be allowing that advice. Others are reminding those on the roads to use their fog – and not hazard – lights to avoid confusing other motorists.
