    Verde Valley AZ (December 31, 2015) – Demand at snow-play areas over the long New Year’s weekend is expected to cause heavy traffic along US 180 near Flagstaff, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.

    Those using US 180 should expect a long queue into Flagstaff after popular snow-play areas close between 4 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. Making an earlier start back may help motorists avoid the heaviest traffic.

    In addition to allowing for extra travel time, visitors should prepare as they would for any extended period in a snowy, icy or cold area, starting with a fully charged cellphone, plenty of gas, drinking water and winter coats, warm blankets or both.

    To avoid congestion through Flagstaff, consider taking an alternate snow-play route through via the Butler Avenue I-40 exit. Signs direct travelers to and from US 180.

    Don’t pull over on highways or interstates to play in the snow. It’s dangerous for you, other drivers and first responders.

    Give snowplows plenty of room, starting with maintaining four car lengths behind a plow. Never pass a snowplow that’s clearing a road.

    For more information on preparing for travel in snow country, please visit azdot.gov/knowsnow.

    ADOT’s Twitter (@ArizonaDOT) and Facebook (/AZDOT) accounts are excellent sources of information on traffic conditions, as is the ADOT Traveler Information Center available at az511.gov or by calling 511.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
