"If a dense fog advisory is issued for your area, it means that widespread dense fog has developed and visibility often drops to just a quarter-mile or less. These conditions can make driving challenging, so exercise extreme caution on the road, and if possible, consider delaying your trip. If driving through fog becomes inevitable, remember these safety guidelines: Reduce speed: Slow down and allocate extra travel time to reach your destination safely."
"Visibility priority: Ensure your vehicle is visible to others by using low-beam headlights, which also activate your taillights. If available, employ your fog lights. Avoid high-beams: Refrain from using high-beam lights, as they create glare, making it more difficult for you to see what's ahead of you on the road. Keep a safe distance: Maintain a significant following distance to account for abrupt stops or shifts in traffic patterns."
Carquinez Strait and Delta, Northern Sacramento Valley, Central Sacramento Valley and Southern Sacramento Valley are under a dense fog advisory effective until Sunday Dec. 14 at 11 a.m. Visibility can drop to one quarter mile or less, making driving hazardous. Drivers should slow down, use low-beam headlights (and fog lights if available), avoid high beams, and maintain a large following distance. Use lane markings to stay in the correct lane and allow extra travel time. In near-zero visibility, activate hazard lights and pull into a safe parking area; if no parking is available, pull as far off the road as possible, leave hazard flashers on, engage the emergency brake, and release the brake pedal.
