ARIZONA CHAIN LAWS

back

QUESTION: What are the Arizona snow chain requirements?

ANSWER: In simple words, chain up when needed and absolutely when posted. Arizona does not state what axles the chains need to go on, how many chains, or anything to that extent, but the DPS would look for common sense and standard industry procedure.

The exact wording is stated below. "Permissible when required for safety because of snow, ice or other conditions tending to cause a vehicle to skid. If a mountain pass or other roadway is posted, vehicles must use chains because of immediate weather conditions; the vehicle must chain up or stop, until the posting is lifted."
