This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiffs’ Renewed Motion for PreliminaryInjunction of Arizona Revised Statutes (“A.R.S.”) § 13-2928(A) and (B) (“3d PI Mot.”)(Doc. 510).
The facts of this case were set forth in this Court’s Order of October 8, 2010, whichis incorporated fully herein. (
Doc. 447, Oct. 8, 2010, Order at 1-4.) The pertinent detailsare briefly summarized here. Plaintiffs bring a variety of challenges to Arizona’s Senate Bill1070 (“S.B. 1070”), the “Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act,”which was signed into law by Governor Brewer on April 23, 2010.
Among S.B. 1070’s

A.R.S. § 13-2928(A) makes it unlawful for an occupant of a motor vehicle that is stopped on a street,roadway, or highway and is impeding traffic to attempt to hire a person for work at anotherlocation. Similarly, A.R.S. § 13-2928(B) provides that it is unlawful for a person to enter amotor vehicle in order to be hired if the vehicle is stopped on a street, roadway, or highwayand is impeding traffic. S.B. 1070 had an effective date of July 29, 2010; on July 28, 2010,the Court preliminarily enjoined certain provisions of the law, not including A.R.S. § 13-2928(A) and (B), from taking effect, in the related case
, CV 10-1413-PHX-SRB.Plaintiffs in this case also moved for a preliminary injunction as to a number of provisions of the law. (
Doc. 235, Pls.’ Mot. for Prelim. Inj. (“1st PI Mot.”).) At oralargument on the first Motion for Preliminary Injunction, counsel for Plaintiffs withdrew theirrequest for an injunction running to A.R.S. § 13-2928(A) and (B). (Oct. 8, 2010, Order at35.) In the October 8, 2010, Order, the Court ruled that Plaintiffs’ first Motion forPreliminary Injunction was moot in light of the injunction entered in
at 34-35.) The Court also found that Plaintiffs had stated a claim with regardto their challenge to A.R.S. § 13-2928(A) and (B) on First Amendment grounds. (
at 19-20.)Plaintiffs renewed their Motion for preliminary injunctive relief as to A.R.S. § 13-2928(A) and (B) on January 7, 2011. (Doc. 457, Pls.’ Mot. for Prelim. Inj. (“2d PI Mot.”) at2.) The Court denied the renewed Motion without prejudice on May 10, 2011, ruling that theoutcome would be “at least impacted, if not determined” by the decision of the en banc courtof the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in
, 657 F.3d 936 (9th Cir. 2011) (en banc). (Doc. 487, May 10, 2011, Order at3.) On September 16, 2011, sitting en banc, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed thethree-judge panel’s decision in
and held that a Redondo Beach ordinanceprohibiting solicitation of business, employment, and contributions on streets and highwayswas not narrowly tailored to achieve the city’s interest in promoting traffic flow and safety

], A.R.S. []§ 13-2928(A) and (B) are unconstitutional restrictions onspeech.” (3d PI Mot. at 1.) The Court heard oral argument on this Motion on January 9, 2012.(
Doc. 577, Minute Entry.)
II.LEGAL STANDARDS AND ANALYSISA.Preliminary Injunction Standard
Plaintiffs seek to enjoin A.R.S. § 13-2928(A) and (B). (3d PI Mot. at 1.) “A plaintiff seeking a preliminary injunction must establish that he is likely to succeed on the merits, thathe is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief, that the balanceof equities tips in his favor, and that an injunction is in the public interest.”
Winter v. Natural Res. Def. Council, Inc.
, 555 U.S. 7, 20 (2008).
B.Likelihood of Success on the Merits1.Commercial Speech v. Noncommercial Speech
The Intervenor Defendants (“Defendants”) argue that Plaintiffs are not likely tosucceed on the merits of their claim that A.R.S. § 13-2928(A) and (B) violate the FirstAmendment because these provisions are “constitutional restrictions on commercial speech,”properly evaluated under a more deferential standard than non-commercial speech. (Doc.553, Defs.’ Resp. to 3d PI Mot. (“Defs.’ Resp.”) at 6.) Plaintiffs argue that the commercialspeech test should not be applied to A.R.S. § 13-2928(A) and (B), but, if it were, theprovisions would not pass muster under even the more lenient standard. (Doc. 567, Pls.’Reply in Supp. of 3d PI Mot. (“Pls.’ Reply”) at 1.)The Supreme Court has defined “commercial speech” as “speech that does no morethan propose a commercial transaction.”
