摘要: The segment of rural Interstate 40 (I-40) crossing Arizona is a major east-west thoroughfare serving Arizona and its adjoining states. Traffic volumes on this section of interstate approach 25,000 vehicles per day, and roughly 40 percent of these are commercial vehicles. While not a major commuter route, I-40 does serve as a major feeder to more than 25 national parks and monuments, tourist attractions, and key recreational areas; the most well known of these is the Grand Canyon National Park (GCNP). Estimates show that nearly one of every eight vehicles on this stretch of interstate is either going to or coming from the GCNP. The main objective of the Arizona I-40 Traveler and Tourist Information System (TTIS) is to have corridor visitors become better informed, resulting in a safer, enhanced visitor experience while traveling along the corridor.
