“Now don’t get me wrong I’m not telling people to stop exercising, however please be very, very careful out there.
“Please remove your headphones so that you can at least hear the oncoming vehicles.
“Visibility is reduced, cars will need to manoeuvre around you and they may struggle to see ahead into the oncoming lane putting everyone at risk.
“People keep yourself safe out there! Conditions aren’t great.
“Drivers be aware of other road users, reduce your speed and TURN ON YOUR LIGHTS,” they concluded.
