Designating a driver is always an ‘All-Star’ move

If you're driving on Arizona highways this Friday and Saturday, you may notice some of our overhead signs displaying a traffic safety message related to the WNBA All-Star Game happening in Phoenix.

We want to grab people's attention and engage them with important traffic safety messages. We hope this approach and these messages resonate and prompt conversations that change driver behavior so we all make better decisions behind the wheel.

It's always a good idea to designate a driver or have a game plan of how to get home safely if you're choosing to consume alcohol. According to crash reports collected by ADOT, there were 5,761 alcohol-related crashes and 332 fatalities in 2023.

Be an "all-star" and drive safe this weekend.
