Über diese Trap
From December into January, dense fog repeatedly closes the M-4 between Gojra and Faisalabad and at times the M-3 near Jaranwala, as in January 2026. Visibility on the M-4 has dropped to as little as 20 meters. Travel by daylight, avoid early-morning and late-night drives, check Motorway Police updates before leaving and keep a spare day. The N-5 is the usual alternative. Fog once cost a Test here a full day without a ball bowled.
