You are cordially invited to travel on the public streets of Tucson. The public streets of Tucson are open 24 hours a day, and can be used for transportation purposes or even leisurely joyrides. Legally, all you need is your driver’s license, proof of insurance, and vehicle registration–then you are eligible to drive wherever you wish, so long as you have enough gasoline. Take this opportunity to let us know you will attend the street at some point in the future.
