Prescott Valley Road Network and Context
Prescott Valley is a rapidly growing community in Yavapai County, located directly east of Prescott along the SR-69 corridor. SR-69 (the Prescott-Dewey Highway) is the primary east-west arterial connecting Prescott Valley to Prescott, to Dewey-Humboldt, and ultimately to I-17 at Cordes Junction — it carries the concentrated commuter and commercial traffic between the two cities and beyond, with a documented history of fatal crashes on both the Prescott and Prescott Valley portions of the corridor. Glassford Hill Road is Prescott Valley’s primary north-south commercial arterial, running from SR-69 north through the main retail and residential areas of the town. Robert Road and Spouse Drive are the major connecting arterials into the residential communities east and west of Glassford Hill Road. Fain Road and Peavine Road connect the northern portions of Prescott Valley to the rural areas toward Dewey and Humboldt, carrying mixed commuter and agricultural traffic. The SR-89 corridor north of Prescott Valley toward Chino Valley adds regional through-traffic to the surface-road network.
