"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: Keep a considerable following distance to account for sudden stops or shifts in traffic patterns."
"Zero visibility strategy: In situations of near-zero visibility due to dense fog, activate your hazard lights and seek a secure location, such as a nearby business's parking lot, to pull over and come to a stop. No parking options: If no designated parking area is available, pull your vehicle as far off the road as possible. Once stationary, deactivate all lights except the hazard flashers, engage the emergency brake, and release the brake pedal to ensure your tail lights remain unlit,"
Carquinez Strait and Delta, Southern Sacramento Valley and Northern San Joaquin Valley are under a dense fog advisory until 11 a.m. Visibility may drop to a quarter mile or less, making driving hazardous. Motorists should slow down, use low-beam headlights and fog lights if available, and avoid high beams. Drivers should maintain larger following distances and use lane markings to stay in lane. In near-zero visibility, activate hazard lights and pull into a secure parking lot or as far off the road as possible. Once stopped, leave hazard flashers on, engage the emergency brake, and release the brake pedal so tail lights remain unlit.
