Travel directions
The road begins at the Mexican border at San Luis. Immediately south of the border is a larger town of the same name with 138,000 inhabitants. The road here connects to the Carretera Federal 2, the road from Tijuana to Hermosillo. US 95 then runs north through the irrigated valley of the Colorado River through farmland. Immediately east of this is the Yuma Desert, a sandy desert. The road then reaches the town of Yuma, which has a population of 87,000 and is one of the most important cities in Arizona. The road then runs east for a bit and then crosses Interstate 8, the highway from San Diegotowards Tucson. The road then turns north and goes through the Yuma Proving Grounds, one of the largest military proving grounds in the world, the size of the province of Overijssel. The road then leads through the empty Sonoran Desert, and the next town is more than 100 kilometers away. Dramatic desert landscapes with steep mountains and rocks unfold along the way. The last section before I-10 runs straight for 40 kilometers. One then reaches the desert village of Quartzsite, where US 95 merges with Interstate 10, the highway connecting Los Angeles to Phoenix. The road then runs double -numbered for the rest of the route with I-10 until the border with Californiaat Ehrenberg. US 95 in California then continues towards Las Vegas.
History
Although US 95 was created in 1926, it was not yet in Arizona at the time. In 1940, US 95 was extended to Blythe, the town on the California-Arizona border. In 1961, US 95 was extended southward to the border with Mexico and thus became Arizona.
Traffic intensities
The road still handles quite a bit of traffic between Yuma and the border with Mexico, up to about 20,000 vehicles per day. In Yuma, 36,000 vehicles drive on the busiest part. Outside Yuma, the road is very quiet, with only about 2,000 vehicles per day between I-8 and I-10.
