"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:"
"Reduce speed: Slow down and allow extra travel time to reach your destination safely. Visibility priority: Ensure your vehicle is visible to others by using low-beam headlights, which automatically activate your taillights. Utilize fog lights if your vehicle is equipped with them. Avoid high-beams: Refrain from using high-beam lights, as they create glare, making it more difficult for you to see what's ahead of you on the road. Keep a safe distance: Keep a considerable following distance to account for sudden stops."
A dense fog advisory is in effect for the East Bay Interior Valleys until Wednesday, Nov. 26 at 11 a.m., with visibility reduced to one quarter mile or less. Low visibility will make driving hazardous and commuters should allow extra travel time. Drivers should slow down, use low-beam headlights and fog lights when equipped, and avoid high-beams because they cause glare. Maintain a considerable following distance and use lane markings to stay in lane. In near-zero visibility, activate hazard lights and pull into a safe parking area; if no parking is available, pull as far off the road as possible and leave only hazard lights on.
