Dust storms make roads dangerous during monsoon; what to do if you get caught on the road

ADOT reminds drivers to "Pull Aside, Stay Alive"
Posted

The Monsoon officially begins today, which can mean very dangerous driving conditions. 

ADOT is reminding drivers to "Pull Aside, Stay Alive," when a dust storm hits, and follow these safety tips:

  • Pull completely off the road
  • Turn off your lights
  • Set emergency brake
  • Keep your seatbelt on
  • Wait it out

Dust storms can create almost zero visibility on the roads, and driving through can be dangerous and even deadly. Remember: "Pull Aside, Stay Alive."
