Beware the Blue Bridge in Fog

Driving in the fog can be dangerous. The Blue Bridge is no place for a high-speed accident. When crossing the iconic landmark, go slow, drive defensively and be as safe as possible. Here are some tips:

• Do not go faster than you can see.
• Give cars ahead of you more lead time.
• Turn on all your lights.
• Do not use high beams.
• Keep your windshield as clear as possible.
• Do not pass other vehicles or change lanes unless absolutely necessary.
• Signal early.
• Slow your vehicle gradually, do not stop quickly.
• If you experience car trouble, turn on your hazard lights immediately.
