A project to resurface the roadway and construct improvements along a 17-mile stretch of State Route 88 known as the Apache Trail includes speed warnings painted on the asphalt.

The Arizona Department of Transportation has finished $6.5 million worth of improvements that include paved vehicle pullouts, adjustments to several curves and replacement of some existing sections of old guardrail.

In addition to primary posted speed limits ranging between 25 and 40 mph, slower advisory speed limits are painted on the roadway at points such as curves. Slower advisory speed limits range between 10 and 20 mph.
