The road is a fourlane improved highway. It is a toll-road. Do not ask me how much the tolls are because I can never figure the rhyme or reason of the fare from day to day.
It takes about 6 hours to make the drive from Tucson. The longest wait is crossing the border from Mexico. The US Border Patrol has lost its mind. Carry a US Passport, if you have one. Avoid making the crossing on major holidays like Easter.
The shoulders are kind of steep, so be sure to travel with a good spare tire. The green angels will change this for you, if you need them.
Travel with a group of vehicles, if you can. There is safety in numbers.
All in all, it is a safe journey. Be respectful of the people and culture and this will carry you far.
Carry a roll of your own toilet paper.
