Drivers on Zimovia Highway will see new signs this summer instructing them to keep their headlights on at all times, regardless of season or the time of day.
The signs will be installed by the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (ADOT&PF) on Zimovia Highway between the Case Avenue and Nemo Point Road intersections.
Seven Southeast communities were chosen for the new signs, including Haines, Ketchikan, Juneau, Petersburg, Sitka and Prince of Wales Island.
According to the ADOT&PF press release, the highway corridors chosen were selected based on their proximity to Alaska Marine Highway System terminals and border crossings, remoteness, crash history and traffic volume.
