The fog affected most parts of the country on Tuesday
Police reduced speed limits on many major roads as the bad weather impacted visibility
Fog is a visible aerosol of minuscule water droplets – like a cloud on, or just above, the ground
The blanket stretched all the way from the coast to deep inland, almost reaching the UAE’s borders in the south
Forecasters issued a red alert as visibility dropped to less than 1,000m, and police warned drivers not to exceed 80kph
First introduced in 2019, the variable speed limit system is activated during bouts of bad weather, such as heavy rain, fog or during sandstorms
Anyone driving faster than 80kph when variable speed limits are in force will be fined
The decision to reduce speed limits made using weather reports, sensors installed on smart gates that estimate the visibility range and reports from police patrols
The fog season begins in mid-December and runs until the end of March, aided by clear skies and calm conditions
