ADOT Blog

These photos are almost 41 years old and show us that on Sept. 20, 1972, the Arizona Highway Department (now known as ADOT) held a public meeting in Camp Verde to discuss Interstate 17.

If you’ve ever drifted a little too far outside a travel lane, only to be jolted back to attention with a not-so-subtle shake, you know what rumble strips are.

Interstate 17 north of the Phoenix area, one of the busiest highways at the start and end of the Labor Day weekend, will be the focus of a safe-driving campaign starting today (Aug. 30).

Last month, ADOT participated in a multiagency enforcement detail focused on determining if retail gas stations are adhering rules, laws and regulations governing taxation and quality of fuel sold for use in motor vehicles.

ADOT is set to open the newly paved US 89T tomorrow, Aug. 29, albeit with some restrictions. Until construction and fencing is completed, the roadway will be open only during daylight hours (except for local residents) and there will be a 25 mph speed limit.

A new study by ADOT finds that out-of-state bicycle tourists and customers bring in a significant amount of money to our state’s economy each year.

The ADOT Sign Shop is one very busy place. Nearly 35,000 signs were created there during last fiscal year alone – that averages out to almost 3,000 signs each month!

How important are all the signs posted along Arizona’s highway system? Well, we’d literally be lost without them.

Did you know that your safety, and the safety of your passengers and other drivers, could be riding on your tires?

If you’re reading this post it means you’ve found the ADOT Blog’s new home! So, what do you think? We really like the new space and hope you’ll take some time to look around and see how the entire ADOT website has been redesigned with you in mind.
