Summer is almost here. It’s time to prep your vehicle for the heat

If you live in Arizona year-round, there’s one thing for certain: You cannot escape the summer heat. 

Sometimes, we can’t even escape summer-like temperatures in March. 

But, during Heat Awareness Week (May 4-8), ahead of the brunt of summer, we want to remind motorists to make sure their vehicles are prepared to handle extreme weather conditions. 

Using turn signals is the way of the Jedi

A safety reminder on May the Fourth

May the Fourth be with you. 

We have combined the Force with important safety reminders on our overhead message signs to help motorists safely travel to a galaxy far, far, away…

Or nearby, if you have a short commute!
