    Work continues on ADOT projects, drivers should focus on safe driving

    Arizona Department of TransporationPhoenix AZ (December 23, 2020) – No full closures are scheduled on state highways between Thursday, Dec. 24, and Monday, Jan. 4, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.

    While some construction and maintenance work will take place at times through the end of the year, ADOT and its contractors will continue the long standing tradition of avoiding full closures along state highways during the holidays.

    Drivers and passengers should focus on both health precautions and highway safety if planning travel around Arizona in the coming weeks. Here are some of ADOT’s winter travel safety recommendations:

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

    • Check your vehicle, including tire pressure, engine fluid levels and windshield wipers

    • Never drive while impaired. Arrange for a designated driver or ride service if necessary

    • Be prepared for winter weather in the high country. Carry an emergency kit in your vehicle (visit azdot.gov/KnowSnow and look for “Must Haves”)

    • Expect the unexpected. Extra supplies, including drinking water, will help in case of an unscheduled closure

    • Please rest before traveling. Fatigue is a serious highway safety risk

    • Buckle up and obey speed limits

    • Allow extra travel time and be prepared to slow down and use caution in existing work zones

    Avoiding distractions, including cell phone use and texting, can help prevent tragic crashes.

    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 www.azdot.gov/ADOTalerts will send critical information directly to app users in affected areas – where possible, in advance of alternate routes.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
