Used to drive this causeway all the time. The fog is insane. I mean you can’t see anything. I’ve you are in it you are screwed. You stop and you get hit. You don’t stop you hit someone. There is no where safe when that happens. There are fog warning signs but it’s like driving plywood over your windshield.
surprisingly, driving in fog can give the illusion that you are traveling slow and that you should increase your speed. Same thing with heavy snowfall.
There is no safe driving in the fog on that bridge. You can’t see your hand in front of your face. Everyone must come to a stop at the same time in order to avoid anything. This fog makes everyone blind. You don’t even see the car you hit it’s so thick. Everyone is completely blind and it happens in seconds. No joke. One second it’s clear the next you can’t see the front of your own car.
Not just there. With fog use lose all sense of speed and surroundings. You actually speed up because you are so focused on the fog. Same thing happens in heavy rain and snow.
In my view , the authorities could put some laser indicator lights in use to avoid such accident cases in future. Wishing a speedy recovery to the once who sufferd 🙏
Notice the 18 wheeler in the left lane. Those behemoths belong in the right lane ONLY, at all times on the causeway! Maybe the commissioner can have some signs of importance made! We already know every tenth of a mile
If truckers still had CB radios in their rigs. Many could have avoided crashing. Truckers used to warn each other about accidents and poor road conditions. Pile up Back it down driver. Radio communication can save lives. Here is another Common Sense statement. If visibility is poor. SLOW DOWN AND USE CAUTION.
This is soo stupid…. Why would you even drive in fog knowing u can barely see anything…. This is always happening yall ppl still haven’t learned anything. This is why i refuse to live in Covington i don’t have time for things like this happening esp if my job or school is in Metairie or Kenner etc. Baby Jesus will never help nor keep you safe. Look at what happened… smh 🤦🏾♀️
Drove this bridge a lot and the cars will not slow down no matter the danger!
That explains why 33 people were hauled off to the hospital.

Right there is your problem, stopping.
This isnt the 1st time this happened on the causeway bridge
💔🙏🏽Didn’t this same thing happen last year on this Causeway?
Yes it did. And you can see how much the state cares
Slowing down for safety, must be a foreign idea

I can't see so let's do 80 miles an hour.
lol right like what is this…
Make it general knowledge to just stop when it gets that foggy.
FOG present should be MAX 25-30 mph get out and enforce it too!
What is it about fog and rain that makes people in this state drive crazy?!🤦🏽♀️

WTH… sooo u speed up because there’s fog or it’s raining …. That doesn’t make any sense
@scrubz.n.squatz2495 It's been proven. You are so focused on your surroundings, you don't look at your speedometer. Do some research.
I was just out on foggy. Can't see 👀👀slow down.
People are not paying attention....oh well

Why don't they close it when the conditions are bad.
That’s what I’m saying it’s like they want ppl to get into these pile up accidents.
Sounds like they interviewed drivers who caused the pile-ups

They "cause way" too many accidents .
What happens when you're not smart enough to drive in fog? Well duh!
Should’ve been shut down already
Why do people still drive highway speeds when they can't see ahead?
Remember, when visibility is low, never slow down. If fact, speed up if possible.
Why….
Increase in insurance rates and America is going to be great again

He caused it lol WHEN HE SAID I THOUGHT THEY WAS SLOWING DOWN BUT THEY WAS PARKED I JUMPED IN 🦘 IN ANOTHER LANE watttt WHAT YOU MEAN BY THAT😂😂😂😂
Reckless driving every morning !
Fog did not cause that to many nuts behind the wheel came loose, that's a term for a well driver who can't drive
Let guess boader patroel ?????
