"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 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 priority: 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. Maintain safe gaps: Maintain a significant following distance to account for abrupt stops or shifts in traffic patterns."
A dense fog advisory covers Carquinez Strait and Delta, Central Sacramento Valley, Southern Sacramento Valley, and Northern San Joaquin Valley from late Tuesday until Wednesday, Jan. 21 at noon. Visibility is expected to drop to one quarter mile or less, creating hazardous driving conditions. Drivers are advised to slow down, use low-beam headlights and fog lights if available, avoid high beams, maintain significant following distances, and stay within lane markings. In near-zero visibility, activate hazard lights and pull into a safe parking area or as far off the roadway as possible, then follow recommended vehicle shutdown procedures.
