Travel

PHOENIX – With more people hitting the road during the peak summer travel season, the Arizona Department of Transportation is urging motorists to be prepared for the unexpected and have an extra awareness for safety and security.  

Over the past year we've announced that motorists along the interstates between Tucson and Flagstaff have been able to gauge how long their trips would take thanks to travel times displayed on ADOT's overhead digital message boards.

But what if you don't travel to Flagstaff or Tucson? What if, instead, you are heading up State Route 87 to get to Payson and onto Show Low? Or if you work in Lake Havasu City but live in Parker? 

Want to see the best places the state has to offer? The Arizona highway system has you covered. 

If you're headed out on a summer road trip, follow these tips to make it a safe and enjoyable outing.

For ADOT, the National Household Travel Survey conducted by the U.S. Department of Transportation serves as an important planning tool.
