GRAND RAPIDS, MI (WHTC) – The National Weather Service has issued a dense fog advisory for Ottawa and Allegan Counties till 11 a.m. Wednesday, November 16.
Visibility is a quarter mile or less creating hazardous travel conditions.
When driving use low beam headlights and leave plenty of distance ahead of you. Listen to traffic you cannot see and open your window a little, to hear better. Use wipers and defrosters as necessary for maximum visibility. Use the right edge of the road or painted road markings as a guide.
According to the American Automobile Association, most fog-related accidents involve motorists who are familiar with the road but are driving too fast. Reduce your speed, avoid sudden stops, increase following distance, and if you must pull off the road, do so as far as possible.
