"When a dense fog advisory is issued for your area, it means that widespread dense fog has developed and visibility can plummet to a quarter-mile or less. These conditions pose challenges for travel, so exercise extra caution on the road or consider postponing your trip if possible. If you must drive in foggy conditions, keep the following safety tips in mind: Moderate your speed: Slow down and allocate extra travel time to reach your destination safely."
"Visibility matters: Ensure your vehicle is visible to others by using low-beam headlights, which also activate your taillights. If you have fog lights, use them. Avoid high-beams: Refrain from using high-beam headlights, as they create glare that impairs your visibility on the road. Keep your distance: Maintain a significant following distance to account for abrupt stops or shifts in traffic patterns. Stay in your lane: Use the road's lane markings as a guide to remaining in the correct lane."
A dense fog advisory is valid Wednesday between midnight and 11 a.m. for Carquinez Strait and Delta, Central Sacramento Valley, Southern Sacramento Valley, and Northern San Joaquin Valley. Visibility may drop to a quarter mile or less, creating hazardous driving conditions. Drivers should slow down, use low-beam headlights or fog lights, avoid high-beams, maintain greater following distances, and use lane markings to stay in their lane. In near-zero visibility, drivers should activate hazard lights and pull into a safe parking area or as far off the roadway as possible, set the emergency brake, and keep hazards flashing.
