No, but from experience I know that if I'm lighting up the entire fog bank with a strobe light, drivers slow down. I've seen it happen - OK, I've HEARD it happen, as they approach from behind and get within about 100 feet where they can see something strobing ahead - amber strobes make people think of road service trucks or emergency vehicles or cops or something else they don't want to hit, and I hear them slow down.
