Many of the roads in Central California have been called some of the most dangerous in the world. Not because of poor construction, but because of poor visibility…brought on by fog.
Unlike tornadoes or thunderstorms, fog is a somewhat passive weather phenomenon. Still, it’s known to catch motorists by surprise. One minute you’re driving along at freeway speeds with a clear view of the road. The next minute you’ll find yourself barely able to see beyond the hood of your car. And the traffic ahead of you has slowed to crawl.
Caltrans and the CHP began a program called "Operation Fog" back in 1991. It's an effort designed to both make motorists aware of the unique weather driving condition which inundates Central California roadways each winter and to reduce the number of fog-related traffic accidents.
The fog season in Central California is roughly four months long, from November through February. During the other eight months of the year motorists quickly forget how difficult it can be to safely navigate through the low visibility conditions brought on by foggy weather. That’s why each winter Caltrans and the CHP try to reinforce the lessons required to make driving in fog a safe experience.
