Driving in Phoenix

  1. People are obsessed/fanatical about covered parking!
  2. Road construction is continuous. ‘Detour barrels’ are moved around for your entertainment pleasure in the middle of the night to make the next day’s driving just that much more exciting.

  3. Road hazards - watch out for dogs, horses, cows, roadrunners, javelinas, coyotes and those detour barrels. Side note – just outside of Tucson I came upon a javelina, trust me, they run a lot faster than you think.

  4. You soon discover why every car in Phoenix has windshield and fabric steering wheel covers.

  5. Going anyplace in Phoenix requires taking Loop 101 and exiting on Indian School Road. *wink*
