What does the traffic sign or signal reading 'fog' indicate?

Explanation:
Fog ahead reduces how far you can see, so a sign reading “fog” warns you to be prepared for lower visibility. The best approach is to slow down, increase the distance to the vehicle in front, and use appropriate lighting (dipped headlights and, if conditions require, fog lights) so you can react to hazards in time. It doesn’t indicate that visibility will be clear or unchanged, nor that the fog will disappear.
