Traffic Safety on Arizona’s Roadways
Arizona’s roadways, particularly busy routes like I-19 Business, are prone to accidents due to their high traffic volumes and complex merging patterns.

Efforts to improve traffic safety in the state focus on better road infrastructure, increased signage, and public awareness campaigns encouraging safe driving practices. Defensive driving and attentiveness to road conditions are critical for reducing the risk of accidents in high-traffic areas.
