    National Weather Service predicts 6-10 inches of snow in Arizona’s high country

    logo_arizonapublicsafetyPhoenix AZ (December 13, 2012) – The Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) has been advised that northern Arizona, above 5,000 feet, could receive upwards of 6-10 inches of snow accumulation beginning Thursday evening and lasting into Friday.

    In addition, low overnight and morning temperatures are expected to cause a hard freeze making highways extremely slippery. If you must travel to the high country, please remember to be patient as traffic will be moving more slowly. DPS will be shifting its Highway Patrol resources to make as many patrolmen available as possible to respond to emergency calls during this period.

    • To check the latest winter road conditions, call 5-1-1 or view the information on the web at www.az511.gov.
    • Remember, the speed limit is based on dry clear roads, do not drive too fast for conditions. Four-wheel drive does not permit you to drive faster on snow-packed or icy roads.
    • Leave at least 500 feet of distance between your vehicle and a snowplow.
    • Make sure you have enough gas before you set out on the road. It can be hazardous to stop along the sides of the highway in these winter driving conditions.
    • Take note of mileposts, exit numbers or crossroads in case of an emergency so law enforcement officers or tow-truck operators can find you.

    City Council Weighs ATV Ban Ordinance Proposal
    By Tommy Acosta
    The Sedona City Council at its May 23, 2023 meeting took no action on a proposed ordinance that would ban all off-road vehicles from being driven on state-owned public roads or streets owned by the city. The ordinance, spearheaded by Sedona Mayor Scott Jablow on the premise that such vehicles pose a risk to the health, safety and welfare of the community, would impose heavy fines to anyone driving the ATVs or OHVs on city streets, including S.R. 179 and S.R. 89A. ATV rental companies have admitted that such vehicles are not intended or designed to be driven on paved roads, yet, in Arizona, they are allowed to do so under Arizona Revised Statute 28-1174 (4B). Opponents against the ordinance argued at the meeting that if adopted the ban would cripple the ATV rental industry in Sedona and cause much hardship to the owners and employees, as it would effectively, as written, destroy their livelihood.
