    National Weather Service calling for 10-20″ of Snow in Northern Arizona

    Sedona AZ (March 16, 2012) – The Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) has been advised that northern Arizona, above 5,000 feet, could receive upwards of 10-20 inches of snow accumulation between late Saturday night and Monday morning of this weekend.

    In addition, low overnight and morning temperatures are expected to cause a hard freeze making highways extremely slippery. If you must travel in the high country this weekend, please remember to be patient as traffic will be moving slower. 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. Dial 9-1-1 only for emergency situations.
    • Remember, the speed limit is based on dry clear roads, don’t drive too fast for conditions. Four-wheel drive doesn’t permit you to drive faster on snow packed or icy roads.
    • Leave at least 500 feet of distance between your vehicle and a snowplow or salt truck.
    • Make sure you have enough gas to reach your final destination; it can be hazardous to be stopped along the sides of the highway in these 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.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
