Wrong-Way Crashes in Arizona
Wrong-way driving incidents are among the most dangerous types of accidents on Arizona’s highways, often leading to devastating outcomes due to the high speeds and head-on impacts involved. US 60 is a major roadway prone to such incidents, especially during nighttime hours when visibility is reduced, and the likelihood of impaired or fatigued driving increases.
Arizona’s Department of Transportation has implemented measures such as wrong-way detection systems and enhanced signage to reduce the frequency of these incidents. However, drivers must remain alert and follow safety practices to minimize risks. Avoiding distractions, refraining from impaired driving, and adhering to traffic laws are critical to preventing accidents.
