Code Yellow for Dense Fog in Brabant Disrupts Morning Traffic

Low visibility under 200 metres could disrupt commutes and prompt drivers to slow down and keep extra distance.

Overview

  • The KNMI issued a targeted code yellow for locally dense fog covering almost all of Brabant and much of the Netherlands that is valid until 12:00 on Tuesday, November 10.
  • The meteorological service warned visibility can fall below 200 metres, a level that reduces sightlines and raises the risk of dangerous situations on highways.
  • Morning rush-hour traffic slowed because of the fog, with the longest jam on the A50 near Oss where a lane was closed for recovery work and reopened around 08:00.
  • Short delays persisted on the A2 around Den Bosch and Eindhoven and on the A27 between Oosterhout and Industriegebied Avelingen, but overall congestion eased after the A50 lane reopened.
  • KNMI has recently shifted to issuing more localized warnings instead of whole-province alerts to tell drivers more precisely where hazardous conditions are likely.
