I-10 between Casa Grande and Phoenix designated a ‘safety corridor’
Pinal Central
This week, motorists will see new signage designating a segment of Interstate 10 between Casa Grande and Chandler as a “safety corridor” where there will be an increased law enforcement presence.
Safety Corridors are highway segments that have more crashes, injuries and deaths than would ordinarily be expected. Over the next two months, the Arizona Department of Transportation, Arizona Department of Public Safety and Governor’s Office of Highway Safety will implement four Safety Corridors in Arizona, aiming to reduce crashes, severe injuries and traffic fatalities.
“These segments were selected because they have higher-than-average instances of speeding, aggressive driving, impaired driving and lack of seat belt use,” said Brent Cain, director of ADOT’s Transportation Systems Management and Operations Division.
