ROAD SAFETY
HIGHWAY ROUTES
Travelers should remember they are in a wilder-
ness area, and service stations aren’t found at
every turn in the road. Bearing this in mind, here
are some tips for a safe, comfortable journey:
•
Don’t get too close to the vehicle in front. There
may be flying gravel and dust to obscure vision.
•
When forward visibility is limited by a bend,
bridge or hill, PLEASE SLOW DOWN. Some vehi-
cles may cross the center line to straighten out a
curve, or there may be wildlife on the road.
•
Be sure to carry backup equipment in good
condition (spare tire, fan belt, etc.).
•
For information on highway conditions while
in Alaska, please dial 5-1-1 (toll free). Out-of-
State, please dial (866) 282-7577.
•
For the most part, there are long stretches of
excellent road surface and there’s no need to
worry. Just take obvious precautions, keep up-

In particular, be prepared for:
•
Road grading in the warm season and snow
plowing in winter.
•
Major road reconstruction during spring, sum-
mer & early fall.
•
Potholes or surface breakup, most prevalent
during late spring and early summer, caused
by continual freezing and thawing of moisture
trapped in the roadbed. PLEASE SLOW DOWN
on these sections.
•
UNIMAK ISLAND
Occasional washouts. These may occur in late
spring or early summer as a result of heavy
rain or rapid melting of the alpine snowpack
after a spell of warm weather.
Surveyors and flag persons working on or
adjacent to the road.
•
If pulled over, firearms must be announced.
•
Please obey all signs.
