The $217 Train Journey Across Arizona That Travelers Can’t Stop Raving About

Northern Arizona has an enduring relationship with the railway. In Flagstaff, trains pass close to the downtown streets. In Winslow, the station belongs to the story of the great railroad hotels. Farther west, Kingman connects the rails with another American travel tradition: Route 66. The Southwest Chief links these places, though the experience depends as much on the hour of travel as on the landscape outside.

Arizona has resurfaced its highways with rubberized asphalt made from scrap tires since 1988 — and the noise readings on one Scottsdale freeway section dropped by approximately 11 decibels after the overlay went down

Arizona Just Changed the Penalty for Illegal Lane Filtering

A motorcycle moving between stopped cars at a red light may look unusual to some drivers, but in Arizona, that maneuver can be legal when specific rules are followed. The important date is September 12, 2026. Arizona did not make lane filtering illegal. Instead, the state changed the consequences for riders who cross the line into prohibited motorcycle lane movements. Under the new law, certain violations can be treated as reckless driving, turning what might once have been handled as a civil traffic matter into a criminal offense. For riders, the difference between filtering and splitting is now especially important. For drivers, understanding the rule can prevent confusion when a motorcycle moves between lanes at a stop. For riders, the wording matters because the new law does not erase Arizona’s lane-filtering permission Arizona’s New Lane Filtering Penalty The legal change comes from House Bill 2941, approved during Arizona’s 2026 legislative session. Governor Katie Hobbs signed the measure on June 22, 2026, and it became effective September 12, the state’s general effective date for laws from that session. The measure amended A.R.S. § 28-693 by stating that a person who operates a motorcycle in violation of A.R.S. § 28-903(B) or (C)
