Arizona State and Local Government Documents Collection
The State and Local Arizona Documents (SALAD) collection contains documents published by the State of Arizona, its Counties, incorporated Cities or Towns, or affiliated Councils of Government; documents produced under the auspices of a state or local agency, board, commission or department, including reports made to these units; and Salt River Project, a licensed municipality. ASU is a primary collector of state publications and makes a concerted effort to acquire and catalog most materials published by state and local governmental agencies.
The ASU Digital Repository provides access to digital SALAD publications, however the ASU Libraries’ non-digitized Arizona documents can be searched through the ASU Libraries Catalog. For additional assistance, Ask A Government Documents Librarian.
Publications issued by the Morrison Institute for Public Programs at Arizona State University are also available in PRISM, in the Morrison Institute for Public Policy - Publications Archive collection.

Project Summary
Passing and climbing lanes provide additional lanes for vehicles to safely pass other vehicles while maintaining speeds. Implementing passing and climbing lane projects provides traffic operational and safety benefits at a cost that is far less than fully widening a highway. In an effort to enhance safety and mobility on Arizona's roadways, the Arizona Department of Transportation is currently updating the 2003 Passing and Climbing Lanes Prioritization Study. This update intends to further refine the identification and prioritization methodology previously utilized and to develop a prioritized list of candidate locations that would provide the most benefit to the traveling public.
Study Objectives
Review previous studies and research current best practices.
Analyze the safety and performance benefits of passing/climbing lanes constructed since the previous study.
Develop a revised methodology and ranking criteria.
Obtain feedback from ADOT District Engineers and other stakeholders, such as rural COGs and MPOs.
Develop a new prioritized list of candidate passing/climbing lane projects.
Analysis of demographic trends provides data necessary to understand the economic and social fabric of a community. The Demographic Trends Analysis provides a snapshot of the City of Scottsdale as a whole and, for comparison purposes, breaks the City into 5 Planning Zones. These Zones were established based on residential, commercial, and community features in each area. Each of the five Planning Zones has unique characteristics that combine to create a diverse and exceptional community.
This report was commissioned by the City of Scottsdale and conducted by Behavior Research Center. The purpose of the study was to measure attitudes about the use of photo-based traffic enforcement statewide.
This report, required by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration provides an update of highway safety projects throughout the state of Arizona during the Federal Fiscal Year as administered by the Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety.
The Office of Highway Safety produces the annual Highway Safety Plan to serve as the implementation guide for highway safety projects throughout Arizona. The Plan also is an application for funding through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Project selection is data driven and utilizes state and national traffic safety data (e.g., crashes, fatalities, injuries, citations, etc.). Knowledge of the Arizona political, economic, and demographic environments, as well as highway safety expertise on the part of staff and other partners also are taken into account where appropriate.
