Thick fog conditions have developed across Delaware with visibility reduced in many areas. State transportation officials are warning drivers to slow down and use extra caution when traveling on roadways.

Dense fog conditions have developed across Delaware, creating hazardous driving conditions throughout the First State. The Delaware Department of Transportation is urging all drivers to exercise extreme caution while on the roads.

Visibility has been significantly reduced in multiple areas across Delaware, with fog intensity varying from location to location. The atmospheric conditions have created a safety concern for motorists traveling on state highways and local roads.

Transportation officials recommend that drivers reduce their speed, increase following distances, and use low-beam headlights when navigating through the foggy conditions. Motorists should also avoid using high-beam headlights, which can reflect off the fog and further reduce visibility.

The fog advisory remains in effect as weather conditions continue to impact travel safety throughout Delaware.
