ICYMI ADOT's I-10 dust-detection system is ready for its third monsoon season:
On I-10, ADOT’s dust detection system ready to battle its third monsoon seasonFor drivers who make frequent trips on I-10 between Phoenix and Tucson, thoughts of the monsoon likely spur memories of nasty dust storms that cover the desert like a thick fog. Traveling can be miserable not so much for the triple-digit heat but the scary realization you may not be able to see what’s ahead.
The normal 75 mph speed limit can change to as low as 35 mph, depending on how bad the dust is in the corridor between Eloy and Picacho Peak. At the same time, overhead message boards light up and tell drivers to slow down because of reduced visibility. And drivers are slowing down. Sensors in the road tell us vehicles pass through the area more slowly as the speed limit signs change, which means motorists are traveling more safely when visibility is poor.The 2020 season was what meteorologists call - and this is a highly technical term - a non-soon. There just weren’t many dust storms to activate the system, which only kicked in for mostly very short spans about a handful of times.
