Dozens of members of the public attended an informational meeting with the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) on June 15th regarding results from a safety assessment covering I-10 to the Maricopa city limits.

Through their research, ADOT confirmed that over the past five years, the intersection of SR-347 at Riggs Road has the 4th highest number of collisions for a signalized intersection on a state highway in Arizona.

"This is the public's chance to hear directly from ADOT and continue building a positive relationship with their team as they work to make SR 347 safer for everyone," says Mayor Nancy Smith, "Equipped with this information graciously provided by ADOT, drivers will have a better understanding of how to get their families home safely every day."

ADOT educated motorists utilizing SR 347 on accident trends in hopes of preventing future crashes. They also gave a detailed explanation of their data to drivers, including crash factors, trends, peak times and common behaviors displayed by drivers.
