Alert | | Hubby just called and couldn't exit on to Queen Creek from I-10. He went to Riggs and is currently waiting to turn left. He says it will probably just be a couple of lights. I would say Casa Blanca is the way to go. | | | |

Alert | Wife just went past Riggs; flipped over semi truck with cargo spilled all over the place and a couple cars smashed all to hell.
347 North bound is still ok, should be ok to use it out of town. | | | |

Alert | | This is frustrating. We have seen a multitude of posts regarding the 347 and yet some are still willing to take chances. This is sad but yet why does it continue? I have seen topics covering various types of enforcement and/or monitoring but is that the answer to this? What if we post billboards showing the destroyed cars every couple of miles with the Clint Eatwood slogan "Do You Feel Lucky". We obviously can't get through to some of the people..... | | | |

Alert | | Husband just called from Riggs Road at Queen Creek. Everyone is turning around since the intersection is closed. Going to I-10. Accident on I-10 isn't bad, just mild slowing. He is going to try Casa Blanca. Maricopa is such a joke. It took him over an hour to get to I-10 this morning too. Our house has been on the market for almost a year. We can't wait to get out of this nightmare. | | | |

Alert | | This town is such a joke and I am so disappointed that I moved here!!! The police and the county need to learn how to direct traffic and get accidents cleaned up. The world does not need to stop b/c of careless people who don't know how to drive. People just need to slow down and not drive so stupid!!! | | | |

Alert | | A small semi full of bread going north bound on the 347 turned left at Riggs going too fast. Flipped over on top of a small pickup that was in the left turn lane. There is only one car under the truck and the only male occupant was alive while waiting for paramedics. He was able to talk but his head was pinned down on the passenger seat. He was bleeding but looked like he had a good chance of surviving. Looked like he would need the jaws of life. Hopefully he is doing well. The driver of the semi was able to climb out the passenger side of his tipped cab. | | | |

If it's a fatal accident police always close the roadway. Several reasons:
1. If your family member were lying dead on the side of the road - would you want everyone looking as they drive past?
2. They close the road until next of kin are notified. Would you want to drive past and see your loved ones and their car?
3. They need to investigate the accident. We're sorry Mrs. Smith - we don't know why your husband was in the accident - we had to open the road so people aren't inconvenienced.
Get over it people. You knew when you moved here there was only Maricopa Road as your in/out point. Go around to Riggs, Casablanca or Pinal Ave in CG. But chill and quit gripping. It's getting old. That and the people need to learn how to drive comments. Who do you think the people are??? ALL OF YOU constitute people. | |

Alert | | I agree Fritzy. These people act as if there are never any wrecks on any other roads in the Valley, only the 347. Try driving on the loop 101 or the I-10 in the West Valley and then you will know delays and wrecks. The whining about houses on the market and how Maricopa sucks is so stale. If you hate it here you have no one and nothing to blame but yourself. This is what you get for trying to get rich quick. Try buying a home next time, not just a house. The whining and self pity is pathetic. If I was reading this for the first time I would think a group of Beverly Hills 90210 residents were here under house arrest. | | | |
