Bill Summary
AN ACT Amending section 28-7041, Arizona Revised Statutes; relating to state highways and routes.
AI Summary
This bill amends Arizona law regarding state highways and routes by adding provisions that allow the director of the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) or their designee to designate a state highway or route as a "PRIMITIVE ROAD," which is a road not regularly maintained. Importantly, this designation shields the state and its employees from liability for damages or injuries resulting from the use of these primitive roads, except in cases of intentional harm or gross negligence by an employee. The bill also mandates that ADOT must place warning signs at the entrances to these primitive roads, informing the public that they are used at their own risk and are not regularly maintained.
