(a) to (c): Special Instructions for working of trains
during foggy weather already exist. During foggy weather, since
visibility remains impaired, detonators (fog signals) are used
to warn drivers while approaching signals. Drivers also take
necessary precaution by regulating the speed of their trains in
the fog affected section, depending upon the system of working
and the intensity of fog.
