I'm truly liking Arizona's highway road work, meaning this City has amazing roadways to travel in, around, and out of town. Great for one's touring pleasures of the City's streets! 🛻💨 🚗💨 🚛💨 🚕💨
Agreed! I've driven and lived in many major US cities and still think Phoenix's freeways and grid arterial network is the best for getting around. I used to on weekend drives through the city just for the pleasure of it.
Phoenix was one of the fastest-growing cities in the US from 2000-2020 (~80,000 people/year). Water shortages and rising housing costs have threatened to stop this fast growth. Last year, Phoenix gained 55,000 residents, less than Atlanta and about 1/3 as many as DFW.
Former Phoenix resident who now resides in San Antonio, Texas and has spent a lot of time in and around the big four Texas metros. I kind of liken the I-10 in west Phoenix to the Katy Freeway in Houston, only minus the frontage roads and express lanes. They're just both really wide and really long, stretching for 10-15 miles with at least 4 main travel lanes + HOV. My wife is a traffic engineer who worked on the I-10 widening design on that side of town. Lot of memories for us there! I'm glad you are finally seeing our old stomping grounds!
I grew up in Phoenix, and those fond memories are still there. Wayne Newton and his brother Jerry got their start on "The Lew King Ranger Show." The heat was horrible, and they were the coolest around. They did an opening-day attraction at a furniture store in Scottsdale. I was the little guy down in front, sitting cross-legged, watching them in their green and white cowboy costumes. Wayne plated and sang while Jerry played his steel guitar. Oh well.
Black-American people, and Hispanic-American people, can be just as hot, or even hotter, than the extreme summer heat in an arid desert ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️😓😓😓😓😓.
Don't move here we are crowded and everything is overpriced. Lol As a native Arizonian from Mesa, I cannot see why anyone would think to move to this cultureless marscape. Fun Fact: Mesa, AZ is America's largest suburb.
@@krabgrassI would love to leave but sadly I am tied to AZ for at least another 5 years. I just hope the state stops getting worst at the rate its been getting bad until I can leave. If things continue this way, Phoenix will be like Los Angeles in five years. A hell hole only with no beach
@@krabgrass It's true that Mesa, Arizona is America's most populous suburban city. However, there's a slight catch to the previous statement. Virginia Beach, Virginia is the only suburban city in America I know of whose population is greater than of the central city she serves. And that central city is Norfolk, Virginia. ¶ Here's a fun fact: U.S. Highway Route 60 connects the cities of Mesa, Arizona, and Virginia Beach, Virginia.
I noticed quite a few states has that Texas concrete sound. NC used to have its own concrete sound that was lower pitched but they phased it out in the last decade or so.
I find it interesting how those concrete road sounds fascinate us.. And i've noticed that horizontally grooved concrete roads tend to have that sound, while with vertically grooved ones tend to have a more rough zipping sound, or nothing much.
Phoenix is a very beautiful landscaped city, but that’s about it. For it to be the Top 10 biggest cities in the country, I expected more vibrancy. I counted about 3-5 buildings this whole video, and that’s being generous!
@@thetimebinderI’m confused. I-10 is nice. It just doesn’t represent Phoenix as a “big city” with the exception of a few overpasses. Where are the buildings? Where’s the heart of the development? I’m going to assume it’s along one of those other routes you mentioned.
Phoenix is the fifth largest city in the US. However, its downtown area is comparitively small, reflecting the size of the city in the 1940's and 1950's, when downtown expansion stalled due to the rise of suburban strip malls and shopping centers.
Georgia keeps repaving over bridges with cheap broken asphalt (you can see holes in it even shortly after the construction.) It is really disappointing me as they are not the only one doing that. Hopefully concrete roads remain concrete.
I'm in Texas now and it's every bit as hot (feeling) as it was for the 8 years I lived in Phoenix. I actually sweat more here than I ever did in Phoenix. Combine that with all the mosquito bites I get every summer here, and I'll take that dry furnace heat any day. It only really lasts for 3-4 months, and the rest of the year is just plain paradise. Even 90s don't feel that hot there. And there's always a time of day, any time of year, that the weather is perfect. Sometimes it's 4am (in summer) or 4pm (in winter).

It’s those damn Californians.
Gotta love Phoenix!!
I was wondering if you'd ever fo some Arizona. You should do I-17 around Munds Park during Fall.
Nice ride through Phoenix AZ

Lots of new construction out there, and AZDot makes it look nice. Last stop before California; be sure to fill up before LA gas prices.

I love my city I love the sun and the heat
It’s good to love where you live
lucky that you have that rare super power to inhabit in such harsh temperatures
I would go to Phoenix if the weather wasn't so hot

Wish it was this calm when I drive on the freeways lol
I was born and raised in PHX Az live in WA State now but man this video makes me home sick 😢
I miss the Arizona asphalt sound there talking it away 😢
Somewhat Texas concrete sounds on the I-17 interchange
I noticed quite a few states has that Texas concrete sound. NC used to have its own concrete sound that was lower pitched but they phased it out in the last decade or so.
Funny, having grown up some in the Phoenix area, I used to think Texas had Arizona concrete sounds. LOL!

Phoenix is coming up! Is Mesa next?
Superstition Freeway!
I've been through there as well during my truck driving days

The older freeways went through poor and industrial areas. The nicer freeways aren't Interstates. State Route 51 is pretty, so it the Loop 101.

@@DS-br1wn Downtown Phoenix has a height restriction due to the airport being located close to downtown.

Theres a law against buildings over a certain height precisely to protect the skyline. This is why you didnt see many buildings
That LA mileage on the overhead sign @ 19:07 is in the top 10 of mileage signs in he country.
What exactly does that mean?
It just means Los Angeles is that many miles from that current area. Those mileage signs are everywhere on roads actually
1)Nice video as usual Mileage Mike.
2)I notice Arizona DOT has some stretches of I-10 with asphalt paved over concrete. I don’t like that.
Georgia keeps repaving over bridges with cheap broken asphalt (you can see holes in it even shortly after the construction.) It is really disappointing me as they are not the only one doing that. Hopefully concrete roads remain concrete.
Bro if want like later or in 2 weeks do the trip from Phoenix to Sedona
Yes the desert is hot in the summer, but we will have air conditioning and power steering by 2050.
9:12 I've been there very long time in March 2000 an '12
Those cars are driving in bike lanes. Wait this is a highway. These are prohibited.
Again AZ highway roads have too man bumps. Why do all these highways have too many bumps?
I'm in phoenix
Phoenix is one of the most hottest cities in America.. can't imagine living in a desert town with that much extreme heat and hot temperatures🌡️🔥🥵
It is hot but not humid
