Consejos para los viajeros

Ways around Grant Road
Depending on the time of day, Grant road (three lanes each way) can be a bit of a traffic mess. Here are a few tips:
When heading West on Grant (taking a left off Rainbow Vista), instead, turn right and get in the left lane for a U-turn at the next turn-off. Much easier!
For Shorter trips, skip Grant altogether and use Pima Rd.
