SCOTTSDALE, AZ — A Valley woman is worried her piano students may not make it home after lessons in north Scottsdale, as freeway expansion construction has led to increased traffic on Loop 101.
"I've been here for 30 years and I've never seen anything like this," Newman said."I've never seen a freeway so dangerous as it is right now." "A lot of people don't have patience and so you've gotta literally force yourself into the lanes," Kaplan said."We need drives to recognize that this is a work zone with a 55-mile-an-hour speed limit," ADOT spokesman Steve Elliott said.
ADOT has extended the on-ramp distances where possible but said all ramps have always met minimum standards for length.Elliot urges drivers to slow down in the area.
