Why: Arizona's minimum liability coverage is $25,000 bodily injury for one person, $50,000 for two or more in one crash, and $15,000 for property damage — a lower property-damage minimum than many other states require.
3. How many occupants does an Arizona freeway HOV lane require during its posted Monday-Friday restricted times?
Why: Arizona's HOV lanes require at least 2 occupants, including the driver, during posted Monday-through-Friday restricted times — violating this restriction carries substantial fines and penalties.
