Oualls said. Douglas County dispatch had no reported accidents as of 1:30 p.m. today. Kimberly Qualls, public affairs manager for northeast Kansas department of transportation, said that a few accidents were reported on nearby highways, but she did not consider that unusual. She added that southwest Kansas experienced much worse fog and traffic incidents. Douglas County is no longer under a weather advisory. Edited by Jacque Weber Despite heavy fog in Lawrence this morning, there was no increase in reported accidents in the area. - Reduce your speed - and watch your speedometer. Fog creates a visual illusion of slow motion when you may actually be speeding. - Avoid crossing lanes. Qualls said she estimated the visibility on the highways to be no more than a quarter mile. But Qualls said that she observed only half the drivers using their lights while she was on the highway. - Travel with the driver's window partially open. Listen for traffic. - If your car is disabled or you can't continue, pull well onto the shoulder and turn off lights. Move away from your vehicle. - Consider postponing your trip until the fog lifts. TIPS TO STAY SAFE ON THE ROAD - Drive with lights on LOW beam. High beams will reflect off the fog, creating a "white wall" effect. —Source: California Highway Patrol Law students required to make up missed classes CAMPUS | 3A Regardless of a snow day, law students must take 700 minutes per credit hour, which requires them to make up any missed classes.
