Travel guidance
Drivers are advised to reduce speed and allow extra travel time. Use low-beam headlights and fog lights if your vehicle has them.
- Avoid using high beams; they cause glare and reduce sight distance.
- Maintain a large following distance to accommodate sudden stops.
- Stay centered in your lane by using road markings as a visual guide.
When visibility approaches zero
Turn on your hazard lights and seek a safe place to stop, such as a parking lot. If no parking is available, pull well off the roadway and stop.
Once stopped, keep hazards on, set the emergency brake, and remove your foot from the brake. This helps ensure tail lights are not illuminated and reduces collision risk.
