ADOT officials asked drivers to be careful as pockets of heavy dust reduced visibility on some roadways.

In photos posted by ADOT officials onto their Twitter page, blowing dust reduced visibility on State Route 347, which links Maricopa to Phoenix, for some time during the afternoon hours.

"Remember if visibility drops, it's best to Pull Aside, Stay Alive," read a portion of the tweet.
