    Arizona News – Drivers using state highways through New Year’s weekend will not encounter any scheduled closures for construction, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation. While some project work will take place, no closures or major lane restrictions are planned between now and Monday morning, Jan. 6.

    Drivers should plan ahead, allow extra travel time and expect the unexpected in terms of unscheduled highway restrictions due to disabled vehicles, crashes or other incidents.

    ADOT and other safety agencies, including the Arizona Department of Public Safety, encourage drivers to stay alert, buckle up and get adequate rest before driving. Motorists should never drive while impaired. Make arrangements for designated drivers or ride services.

    According to law enforcement reports, nine people died in nine fatal crashes on Arizona roadways, including local streets, over last year’s Christmas weekend. Four of those fatal crashes were listed as alcohol-related.

    Drivers also should check weather forecasts and stay up to date on road conditions. Keeping speeds in check, being cautious in existing work zones and avoiding distractions are among ADOT’s key safety recommendations during the holiday travel season.

    It Takes a Lifetime and Sometimes Even More

    By Amaya  Gayle

    Sedona, AZ — It takes a lifetime (perhaps lifetimes) of stretching and expanding, ripping and tearing, just to move through one’s predispositions, to meet one’s inbred resistance and evolve to the grace of simple tolerance. During this precious part of the journey, it feels like you are taking the steps, are choosing right, left or straight ahead, that you are in the game.
