Alert | What is with the increase in traffic at the main cf entrance/exit this week? I know that in the past, i've seen people drive straight across from red then do a uturn to make a left out of cf. but this traffic is coming more the inner part of cf. i know that there can't be a huge increase in cf residest making a mass exodus at this time of day, or that suddenly started working away from maricopa. does it really save any time to turn into the south cf entrance, speed through cf and then leave from the north/main cf entrance/exit? I couldn't even get out of the street i live on to leave cf this morning. The road was blocked by commuters and they were not letting anyone in! what is going on and what can be done? | | If you can't spot the loser, it might be you

Alert | Have the HOA buy the streets and gate the community. Until then, stop bitching. The residents of Senita FLY through the Villages all the time to get to Frys or Smith-Enhke. | | | |

Alert | | wasn't bitching per se, just curious as to the sudden increase and how things can be fixed so that those of us who were smart enough to buy in this neighborhood to avoid the traffic nightmare can leave our street to get to work too. | | If you can't spot the loser, it might be you

You can't do anything about it. It's much worse in VRED too. At least you don't have to share your amenities with non residents like VRED does.

Alert | I have always wondered what kind of trash live in RED, Tortosa or Senita. I am not talking about all of them, just the ones that think its OK to use VRED pool or basketball and tennis courts. What kind of message do you losers send to your kids when you do that? | | | |

When you say you were "smart enough" to buy in that neighborhood did you take into consideration that HUMONGOUS GAS LINE that runs through it!! lol!!! You should see the congestion we see here in VRED especially poolside!

Alert | | Unfortunately, we can't do much of anything. These are public roads. However, a police officer did tell me they were aware of quite a few situatiions here and would be more present in the community. I have seen more people pulled over here recently. If they have to drive through here, at least they have to drive more carefully. | | Mobile Custom Auto Repair "We Come To You!" 520-280-3775 | |

Do you non-VRED people understand that the amenities (pool/basketball/tennis) in VRED are for the residents of VRED and their guests. They are not paid for by the city of Maricopa and are NOT public. Pass that along to your neighbors, thanks. | | | |

IIRC.. The Duke Golf Course and it's restaurant are public and RED's HOA fees have nothing to do with it..
In the Villages, the pool, tennis court, etc.. are OUR amenities that WE pay for... unless your a "Villager" keep your happy arse out..

Alert | I live in Acacia Crossings, and while I patiently wait for the light at 238/347, I see a lot of cars turning westbound onto the 238 from the 347, then cutting through Walgreens to the light at Cobblestone.

Alert | My gripe is...why do people-that I am guessing most live in maricopa- still use the 3rd lane that ends at CVS and this causes the huge backup from Fry's to get out of town. I spend an extra 15 minutes every morning for people that think they are too special to follow the signs and make a much smoother flow in the morning. You know the lane ends...GET IN LINE!

Alert | it's not that people use the lane.. it's there, I use it, get over it.. it's the "me, me, me" and "no one is going to get in front of me" mentality people have when merging..
People need to get the concept of "zipper" merging.. no one is cutting people off in that lane.. they are merging.. no need to "wait in line".. there's an open lane.. I'll take it..

Thank you! I wish more people realized that the lane ends where it does for a reason and not so much further back. Although I think ADOT could have given a little more room to make the merging more a bit easier, if most people didn't have the highschool "cutting in line" mentality, zipper merging and traffic would be a lot better.

This does not cause a huge backup. Think about it. You have X number of cars trying to get through the intersection, which merges down into two lanes after the intersection. You can either do it in a moving, but orderly fashion after the intersection (fluid movement) or you can do it in a sporadic and haphazard manner prior to the intersection, which will build the lanes back even further. If people would just allow room for traffic to merge then you wouldn't have people slamming on their brakes and causing ripples back into the traffic behind them
