Delaware drivers are being urged to exercise extreme caution as dense fog has enveloped communities across the First State, creating hazardous driving conditions with severely reduced visibility.
The Delaware Department of Transportation reports that fog of varying thickness has been spotted throughout all three counties, prompting safety concerns for morning and evening commuters.
Transportation officials recommend that motorists reduce their speed, increase following distance, and use low-beam headlights when navigating through the foggy conditions. Drivers should avoid using high beams, which can reflect off the fog and further reduce visibility.
The weather phenomenon has created particularly dangerous situations on major roadways where visibility can drop to just a few hundred feet or less in the heaviest fog banks.
