As another winter weather system moves across Arizona this week, drivers should be prepared for potentially hazardous conditions on some state highways in the high country and wet roadways elsewhere.

The Arizona Department of Transportation encourages motorists to stay up to date on forecasts from the National Weather Service and plan their travel accordingly. That includes delaying travel when highways are snow packed or icy.

Drivers in lower-elevation locations should plan for possible rain and wet roadways and be prepared to slow down.
