Dense fog advisory for San Francisco Bay Shoreline and San Francisco County until Tuesday midday

"Guidance from the NWS for navigating foggy conditions 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: Moderate your speed: Slow down and allocate extra time for your trip to reach your destination safely."

"Visibility matters: 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 headlights, as they create glare that impairs your visibility on the road. Maintain safe gaps: Maintain a generous following distance to account for abrupt stops or shifting traffic patterns."

San Francisco Bay Shoreline and San Francisco County are experiencing dense fog reducing visibility to about a quarter mile or less through 11 a.m. The low visibility creates hazardous driving conditions and may slow commutes. Drivers should slow down, use low-beam headlights and fog lights if available, avoid high beams, maintain generous following distances, and use lane markings to stay in the correct lane. In near-zero visibility, activate hazard lights and pull into a safe, off-road location such as a business parking lot; if none is available, pull as far off the road as possible and stop. Allow extra travel time.
