SR 92 begins at an intersection with Fry Boulevard in Sierra Vista. SR 90 is the designation along the roads heading north and east from the intersection. From here, SR 92 heads south through Sierra Vista, passing by residential areas in a desert terrain. The road then passes through the town of
Nicksville in
Sierra Vista Southeast while the west side of the route is flanked by the
Coronado National Forest, in which
Huachuca Mountains are located. SR 92 then turns eastward, passing within several miles within the
Mexico–United States border. The route passes the towns of
Miracle Valley and
Palominas before turning northeast. The roadway enters the town of Bisbee, meeting its terminus at a traffic circle in the city. The highway is maintained by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), which is responsible for maintaining SR 92 like all other highways around the state. As part of this role, ADOT periodically surveys traffic along its routes. These surveys are most often presented in the form of
average annual daily traffic, which is the number of vehicles who use the route on any average day during the year. In 2009, ADOT calculated that around as few as 3,700 vehicles used the route daily near Palominas and as many as 31,000 daily near the northern terminus at Sierra Vista. No part of the highway has been listed in the
National Highway System, a system of roads in the United States important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility. ==History==
