"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 driving in fog becomes unavoidable, remember these safety tips: Reduce speed: Slow down and allow extra travel time to reach your destination safely."
"Avoid high-beams: Refrain from using high-beam headlights, as they create glare that impairs your visibility on the road. Keep a safe distance: Maintain a generous following distance to account for abrupt stops or shifting traffic patterns. Stay in your lane: To ensure you are staying in the correct lane, use the road's lane markings as a guide. Zero visibility strategy: In extremely dense fog where visibility is near zero, the best course of action is to first turn on your hazard lights,"
A dense fog advisory covers Carquinez Strait and Delta, Central Sacramento Valley, Southern Sacramento Valley, and Northern San Joaquin Valley from 4:32 a.m. until 11 a.m. Expect visibility of one-quarter mile or less, which can make driving conditions hazardous. Drivers are advised to slow down, use low-beam headlights (and fog lights if available), avoid high beams, maintain generous following distance, and use lane markings to stay in their lane. In near-zero visibility, turn on hazard lights and pull into a safe location or off the road, turn off other lights, and set the emergency brake.
