1. Once you've pulled completely off the highway during a severe Arizona dust storm, what should you do with your lights and brake pedal?
Why: Arizona's "Pull Aside, Stay Alive" guidance is specific: once stopped off the highway in a severe dust storm, turn off your lights AND take your foot off the brake — so a driver behind you isn't drawn toward your taillights or brake lights and doesn't rear-end you in the reduced visibility.
2. What happens if you drive around a flood barricade in Arizona and your vehicle becomes stranded, requiring rescue?
Why: Arizona law makes a driver who goes around a flood barricade liable for the costs of any emergency response needed to remove that driver or a passenger from a vehicle stranded on a public street or highway as a result.
3. What should an Arizona driver do upon seeing an overhead highway sign reading "ALERT, WRONG-WAY DRIVER AHEAD"?
Why: When ADOT is alerted to a possible wrong-way driver, overhead message boards on that freeway stretch display "ALERT, WRONG-WAY DRIVER AHEAD" — the guidance is to safely move toward the nearest exit as soon as possible.
