Driving tips for Tucson
When you rent a car in Tucson, you’ll have the freedom to explore the city on your own terms. Just keep these tips in mind:
- Scenic drives: Tucson is home to many scenic driving routes, such as the Cactus Forest Loop Drive and the Sentinel Peak Paved Loop. While these are beautiful, they also include some restricted areas. Keep an eye out for signs.
- Use the left lane sparingly: The left lane of highways is specifically reserved for passing. This means that, legally, cars in the left lane must be moving faster than those in the right.
- Rescue law: Arizona has a law stating that if you ignore barricades and warning signs to enter a stretch of flooded or otherwise dangerous road, you can be charged for the cost of your own rescue.
- Avoid the heat: Tucson’s desert climate is very hot and dry, which can cause the car’s interior to heat up quickly. Always try to park in the shade, use window shades, and take caution when touching the metal parts of seat belts.
These and our other recommendations for driving in Tucson will help you have a smooth trip.
