Alert | | According to KEZ 99.9, it was closed for an "incident" on the reservation. | |
Yes, that's really my name | |

Alert | I actually thought traffic was pretty good this morning. The back up due to Riggs being closed wasn't that bad really. Only took me 20 minuets to get from Maricopa Rd on to I-10. Guess it just depends on when you got there. Hope your commute home is better.  | | | |

Alert | | Wow, the traffic gods must like me as I went Casa Blanca road this morning instead of Riggs as usual and didn't even know about an accident/incident! Have missed the last three or four accidents that have hosed up traffic! Cool! | |

Isn't this just a daily thing now? I think we should just start reporting the days where there aren't any problems on (or near) the 347!

Alert | | I would love to be only 10 minutes late- since the resurfacing project began I seem to be 30 minutes late despite leaving earlier & earlier. I leave a few before 7am and don't get to Broadway & I-10 til about 8:30. Anyone commute to the area (Tempe)? I would love to be able to save some time in the car pool lane. | | | |

Alert | | Hi renee2100. I have the same problem. It seems that this traffic is always making me late now. I too drive to Broadway in Tempe. I work on Hardy and Broadway.My start time is normally between 730-930 depending if I do Overtime. I normally have to leave here at 635 the lastest to get there at 800. It sucks. | | | |

Alert | Which way do you go to get there? I find that I-10 is the slow part.
I work at Broadway and Priest. I can drop hubby off at work, baby off at daycare and be to work by 8:10 when we leave about 6:55.
The route we take is 347 to Wild Horse Pass to 56th St/Priest. Hubby works at 56th and 202. Baby is at Elliot and Priest and I continue on to Broadway and Priest. If I can get hubby and baby out the door by 7:40/7:45 I can be there by 8 easily. | | | |

Alert | Finally! I made it to work a few minutes before 8!!!!! (Fortunately I am on salary and not hourly)
Sp.ed. - do you drive in the car pool lane at all? Lately it takes me about 40 mins to get from Glennwilde to I-10 via 347. Then another 30ish to get to Broadway. I don't 'cut in line' and I don't drive like a speed demon- though I am able to speed up to about 70 for 5 seconds on I-10 before traffic stops at Chandler Blvd. I've tried side roads in the past but with stop lights- it doesn't seem to be much faster.
On my way home it takes only about 40 minutes (leaving work at 4:30pm) unless it is a Friday and everyone is heading towards Tucson. | | | |
