When must headlights be used during daylight in Alaska?
- Whenever visibility is reduced to 1,000 feet or less by fog, rain, snow, smoke, or dust
- Only when the vehicle is traveling faster than 55 mph
- Only after the driver enters a tunnel
- Whenever the road is wet, even with clear visibility
Answer: Whenever visibility is reduced to 1,000 feet or less by fog, rain, snow, smoke, or dust. Daytime darkness is not the only reason to turn on headlights. Alaska requires them when fog, rain, snow, smoke, or dust reduces visibility to 1,000 feet or less. A wet road alone does not automatically establish that distance, and speed or tunnel travel is not the stated trigger. Use the visibility test as the practical cue: if you cannot see roughly 1,000 feet ahead because of one of those conditions, illuminate the vehicle so you can see and be seen.
