Bet you had that AC on full blast there! This was perfectly done, even down to the fonts on the signs, keeping it real. Bonus points for using Stevie Nicks songs!!
Well, in Winter morning and nights there say that to the heater because it gets so cold at those points of the day in Winter, 40’s and rare cases of 30’s....
From what I've gathered, they actually look quite different, despite extensive Clearview. I know Texas has a rather unique MUTCD that is used, so there are signing standards here that aren't in other states. Additionally, I think Texas typically uses a different variant of Clearview than is common other places... this may be just me but something about Clearview in Texas seems "friendlier". I'll say that I think Texas' MUTCD standards definitely lend themselves better to Clearview than the national standards IMO, and TxDOT's specific signing methods look better in it than highway gothic.
Thanks as always. I will make a prediction that you will be the first road videographer recording I-11 southbound from Las Vegas all the way to Phoenix, once the highway is completed :) Wonder how many more years until the work is done.
If I'm still in the Vegas area when it all finally opens, I wouldn't mind. However, the portions in Nevada should be done by next year, so I could find a way to capture that at least. Even before that, I'm still debating if I want to capture what will be I-11 in Arizona before it gets rebuilt.
Always enjoyed seeing the nice landscaping along Phoenix freeways when I used to visit a lot. That's so different from most American cities, where freeway landscaping consists mainly of weeds and trash (e.g., in Austin, where I live).
Weeds and trash are very commonly found in many Los Angeles areas too (where I live). It seems that cities without very hot desert summer climate tend to have that nice landscaping you mentioned. Besides Phoenix, Las Vegas is another very good example.
@@AmericanRoads If you live in LA, could you do a video of the whole length of the CA 91, from CA 60/I-215 all the way to Vermont Ave? One of my favorite freeways in the country (btw I live in Phoenix)
I have noticed from watching a lot of these freeway videos that Arizona does seem to have the cleanest and tidiest looking roads and designs. I also think the place looks to pretty but damn there is no way I could ever handle their heat!
Exactly my sentiment about the city's summer heat. Is your profile pic from Fallout 4? I just finished playing the game, main story and all DLCs. It has been a fun winter break sneaking around and head-shooting raiders and super mutants lol.
American Roads it's from the fallout series in general as its been an icon for the series. I felt greatly let down by fallout 4 and thought 3 and NV were superior. I enjoyed the far harbor dlc though.
Luckily for me, Fallout 4 is my first Fallout game. Although after listening to other people's analysis, I can understand why they are disappointed. Also considering that I started playing Fallout 4 pretty soon after Witcher 3, it became clear to me that making great in-depth quest stories is not really Bethesda's strong suit. Skyrim suffered from a similar weakness too, I think.
This lamb was impressed by the landscaping but probably should not visit in the summer because this lamb's wool would cause overheating. Then this lamb won't be able to comment on these videos.
I always imagined Phoenix as one of those types of cities NO LESS congested than mine at absolute worst due to their super fine-built freeway system and maybe their straightforward arterial grid... Until I saw a show called "Live PD" where some point after 7 pm, the Phoenix cops are still fighting "rush hour" traffic to get to a scene... Guess it's not smart to jump to conclusions...
I wonder if it ever is cloudy in Phoenix. Our former mayor of Winnipeg has moved down to Phoenix and lives there, but he has a bad reputation of being a corrupt politician (Sam Katz) and is rumored to have taken kickbacks and stuff like that.
Completely nailed it ! Congratulations for this awesome production Hansel !
This was also my first time for me "driving" in Phoenix. Thanks and great psychedelic colors at the end.
Having fun with my editor. Plus, the music is asking for it :)
Excellent, well-executed video, loved the transition between songs you used and nice effects at the end.
Great video. Smooth footage and great sign work man. Phoenix is my dream place to live.
What makes Phoenix special to you?
I love hot weather and despise the cold. I also like big metro areas, and Phoenix has both of these :)
Interesting. Speaking of which, Las Vegas seems to have those features too. What do you think of the Sin City?
Las Vegas seems nice, but honestly the economy, which is primary focused on tourism, is just not for me.
Nice works Hansel! Great production

75% blast to be exact. And she happens to be from Phoenix, so a good match, I'd say :)

Amazing video. I miss home!
Excellent ride - enjoyed it.
Impressive - both the freeways in the video and your production itself are immaculate and smooth. Those were quite some slick transitions.
How similar are AZ signs compared to TX? They are using the same fonts, aren't they?

Then again who am I talking to about unique sign standards? you live in California, their MUTCD is almost completely foreign to vanilla! lol.
Really slick editing on this production! You got some great conditions for capturing Phoenix, it makes me tempted to head down that way.

Another awesome video
Great Job!!
Just like I felt when I moved back to Phoenix in 2020 after living on the East Coast for five years

To see the Skyline of Phoenix well, go on I-10 East. After the I-17 Stack, and on the I-10 East you will have a view of the skyline on your right.
Thanks for the info.
You can also take Loop 202 Red Mountain West Of the Loop 101 Pima/Price
Also a great view of the Skyline from the Southbound AZ 51 between Northern and Glendale as it drops from Dreamy Draw
Thanks from Russia,USA great and very best country
Спасибо 😁
Good luck!

It sure was pretty hot then. Don't you regularly shave your wool?
There are going to put the 202 loop south on the 10

Yea traffic here sucks man...lol.

Do you think he can be considered "criminal illegal alien"? :P
Apparently he "purchased" a home in Phoenix for $1.00 off a guy who previously won construction contracts in Winnipeg.
Yes, we get plenty of clouds, about 60 cloudy to partly cloudy days a year
My dad lives in laveen and i am on the I 17
The freeways are a total mess here right now.
