The Pima County Board of Supervisors recently voted in a new ordinance which prohibits the use of an electronic device while driving in Pima County. The ordinance will go into effect on June 1, 2017.
According to this ordinance (10.34.020): A person may not use a handheld electronic device while operating a motor vehicle on a street or highway unless that device is specifically designed or configured to allow hands-free use and is used in that manner. It is a civil traffic offense to violate this ordinance.
There will be a sixty day grace period for enforcement efforts. During this grace period, drivers will receive a written warning if they are found to be in violation of this ordinance. Use of a two-way radio will not be a violation of this ordinance.
