Thank you for the conversations we’ve shared over the past 9 years. This will be my last day with ADOT. If you don’t already, please follow @ArizonaDOT for transportation news covering the entire great state of Arizona, and get the ADOT Alerts app.

Safe travels.

It's coming down in Sun City!

Crews just removed a large tree from the roadway on US 60 (Grand Ave) and R.H. Johnson Blvd.

Be mindful of the conditions as you drive in the west Valley this afternoon.

Adopt a Highway: What are all those signs about?

They recognize volunteer and business groups that clean litter along 2-mile-stretches of Arizona highways.

Join others who clean litter for community spirit or to honor loved ones!

After the fires, come the rains, and in burn scar areas, that can mean sudden flooding, debris and rocks on nearby highways.

ADOT has a plan for that!

Please slow down on wet highways - that'll reduce your chances of a spinout or crash.

And don't forget to check your route before heading out with the AZ 511 & ADOT Alerts apps: https://t.co/kUvoqCy8V0

Although it's more humid outside, we're not out of wildfire season yet. Please remember, when driving:

◆ Don't drag chains;
◆ Don’t park in grass;
◆ Don't toss lit smoking materials out the vehicle window.
