    Travelers should remember face coverings, focus on safe driving

    Arizona Department of TransporationPhoenix AZ (Novembr 25, 2020) – There is good news for drivers who will be traveling on state highways over the Thanksgiving weekend. The Arizona Department of Transportation has confirmed that no construction or maintenance full closures are scheduled along state highways between Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 25, and Monday morning, Nov. 30.

    No matter the destination, those with plans to travel during the current health situation should bring face coverings, be prepared to practice safe distancing and follow other public health guidelines.

    Motorists should also focus on safe driving during the annual holiday travel season. Getting adequate rest, buckling up, obeying speed limits and never driving while impaired are among the behaviors that promote improved highway safety. Avoiding distractions, including cell phone use, can help prevent tragic crashes.

    A total of 11 fatal crashes claimed 11 lives on all Arizona roads, including local streets, over last year’s Thanksgiving weekend, according to law enforcement reports. Alcohol-related fatal crashes claimed three lives over the extended holiday weekend.

    Drivers also should be prepared to slow down and merge safely when approaching or traveling through any existing work zones along state highways. Be ready for unscheduled closures due to crashes, disabled vehicles or other events. Pack extra supplies, including drinking water, in case of stopped traffic.

    It’s also wise to check your vehicle ahead of setting out on a trip. That includes taking a look at your car’s tire pressure, engine fluid levels and windshield wipers. 

    Real-time highway conditions are available on ADOT’s Arizona Traveler Information site at az511.gov, by calling 511 and through ADOT’s Twitter feed, @ArizonaDOT. When a freeway closure or other major traffic event occurs, ADOT’s free app available at ADOTAlerts.com will send critical information directly to app users in affected areas – where possible, in advance of alternate routes.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
