"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 time for your trip 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."
"In extremely dense fog where visibility is near zero, the best course of action is to first turn on your hazard lights, then simply pull into a safe location such as a parking lot of a local business, and 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"
A dense fog advisory covers Carquinez Strait and Delta, Central Sacramento Valley, Southern Sacramento Valley and Northern San Joaquin Valley until 1 p.m. Visibility may drop to one quarter mile or less, creating hazardous driving conditions. Drivers should slow down, use low-beam headlights and leave plenty of distance ahead. Avoid high-beam headlights and use fog lights if equipped. Maintain lane position using lane markings. In near-zero visibility, turn on hazard lights and pull into a safe parking area or as far off the road as possible. Once stopped, deactivate all lights except hazards, engage the emergency brake, and release the brake pedal to ensure tail lights remain visible.
