"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."
"Ensure your vehicle is visible to others by using low-beam headlights, which also activate your taillights. If available, employ your fog lights. Refrain from using high-beam headlights, as they create glare that impairs your visibility on the road."
"In cases of near-zero visibility due to dense fog, activate your hazard lights and seek a safe spot, like a nearby business parking lot, to pull over and stop. If no designated parking area is available, pull your vehicle as far off the road as possible."
The National Weather Service issued a dense fog advisory for North Bay Interior Valleys effective until Thursday, February 26 at 11 a.m., with visibility reduced to one quarter mile or less. These hazardous conditions require drivers to take precautions including reducing speed, using low-beam headlights and fog lights, avoiding high-beams, maintaining safe following distances, and staying within lane markings. In cases of near-zero visibility, drivers should activate hazard lights and pull over to a safe location. If no designated parking is available, vehicles should be positioned as far off the road as possible with hazard flashers activated and emergency brake engaged.
