Dense fog led to temporary traffic control on several sections of local expressways in east China's Jiangxi Province on Monday morning, prompting the provincial meteorological observatory to issue a yellow fog warning.
From the early hours of the morning, thick fog enveloped sections of major expressways, reducing visibility to less than 200 meters.
The local authorities promptly activated the emergency response and implemented restrictions at some of the affected expressway toll stations.
The Jiangxi Provincial Meteorological Bureau activated a yellow warning for the heavy fog at 05:45, reminding drivers to prioritize traffic safety.
At around 08:30, as the temperature began to rise, the thick fog gradually dissipated, allowing traffic to resume on all the affected expressways.
China has a four-tier, color-coded weather warning system, with red representing the most severe warning, followed by orange, yellow, and blue.
