A.R.S. § 28-665: Duty After Hitting Highway Property
Striking fixtures on a highway; autonomous vehicles; neighborhood occupantless electric vehicles; violation; classification
What do you have to do if you damage highway property or fixtures in a crash in Arizona?
In Arizona, a driver who damages only fixtures or property on or near a highway must take reasonable steps to notify the property's owner of the accident, the driver's name and address, and the vehicle's registration number, and show a license on request. For a fully autonomous or neighborhood occupantless electric vehicle, the owner satisfies this duty instead; violating this section is a class 1 misdemeanor.
