Thanks for making this video. I used to love driving this freeway when I lived in the Phoenix area. Friends/family in Scottsdale and I lived in the Tempe area. Cruising down South at dusk, between the mountains, some of my favorite memories.
I'm happy to see a new video from Phoenix, since there has been almost no videos from there these past 2 years. Did you know that Arizona is currently the only state along with New Mexico to not have any auxilary interstates? For example in Phoenix, Loop 101 could be renamed I-110, Loop 202 could be renamed I-610 & Loop 303 could be renamed I-217. Some strong winds hitted my aera. The speed of the winds were about 60-80 km/h. We even lost the power for a bit more than 24h. (At least it wasn't today, as I couldn't talk about it rn 😂). Even known it already was bad enough, it was definitely much worse in the other parts of Quebec. Several regions have been on flood alert (I don't remember how many exactly), for example, the region of Charlevoix particularly caught my attention. IDK if you saw the images, but it's quite scary, it reminds me a lot of something pretty similar in Saguenay in 1996. 2 volunteer firefighters also lost their lives bc of this unfortunately while trying to evacuate people from their home. Their names are Chris & Régis Lavoie, they were 24 & 55 years old respectively. It was also said that the yongest one didn't know how to swim, which has possibily caused his death. Ofc, all my thoughts go out to the family of the firefighters who had died. Vey sad what happenned 😔. Hopefully they'll see this comment if they discover this video. Oh, & also, Happy Cinco De Mayo 🌮🌮
Great video Asphalt Planet. I didn't even know you still had footage from 2020, I'm pretty sure there is much more development in that rural desert area at the beginning of the video now. Loved the soundtrack too! Did you know that Arizona switched back to Highway Gothic as their main font for highway signs, and not Clearview anymore. Though, they aren't replacing the clearview signs until they get old. I found that out recently, which I was surprised, seeing how Clearview seems to be very common in the Phoenix Area now. The Route 202 extension which opened in 2019 used the highway gothic font on their signs. Personally, I prefer Highway Gothic over Clearview.
Thanks much for the comment. I drove Loop 303 again in 2022 and there is a little bit more development along the corridor it actually hasn't changed too much. I was aware that AzDot had abandoned clearview for Highway Gothic once again. Like you, I prefer Highway Gothic font as well over clearview. AzDot's implementation of clearview was always kind of odd as well. They still used Gothic for all of the numbers even on clearview signage.

Thanks for the comment.
I have seen some photos of some of the flooding in Quebec. It's pretty crazy to say the least.
Arizona is so green this time of year!
Fantastic footage as always, the design of those signage gantries and distance signs in the middle of the freeway are very distinctively Arizona!

Great drive! Have you ever paid the toll by credit/debit card?
Why do you sometimes write comments, and the delete them only to write them again?
And yes, I have paid a toll by credit card before.
@@AsphaltPlanet1 Because sometimes TH-cam marks my comment as spam so it wouldn't be appear on your video.
Idea: Orlando content
Great video if you speed it up itll look like youre going over the speed limit! That looks a little slowed down buddy cant fool a native
I just did some driving videos on Los Angeles highways! Come check them out!
