Arizona State Route 92
former state highway in Arizona, United States
State Route 92 (SR 92) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Arizona. Running roughly in an L-shaped pattern, SR 92 begins at SR 90 in Sierra Vista and ends at a traffic circle in Bisbee along SR 80, running entirely within Cochise County. The route was constructed and numbered as SR 92 in the late 1930s with a route that traveled further north past Sierra Vista than it does today. The routing was corrected in the 1960s.

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.
