I-10 East (AZ), Phoenix Western Metro

This video follows Interstate 10 East through the western half of the Phoenix metro region, starting a few miles before Loop 101, and ending at the I-10/I-17 interchange, just northwest of downtown Phoenix.

Very nice :)
Phoenix is growing like crazy.

[@FreewayBrent]

Thanks! My next I-10 video through the eastern half of Phoenix will be up, later this morning, as well as I-17.

Excellent, 5*
It resembles some of the CA venues you've filmed.

[@FreewayBrent]

Thanks for the support! Sometimes, I'm not sure what my viewers think of the songs I choose, but I'm glad at least a few like yourself like them.
As for Chicago, it'll probably be a long time before I go back, although a part of me is debating driving over there, after I leave Louisville, during the beginning week of August. For now, I'm in Austin...can't wait to film the freeways around here tomorrow. :-)

Hey FreewayBrent, they've just about wrapped up const on the 10 fwy, it's gonna be eight lanes. You should shoot the Loop 101 and 202, something interesting always happens on those two freeways. Happy Holidays!

[@FreewayBrent]

@heyimAWESOME12: Perhaps my future AZ 51 and I-17 videos (north of Loop 101) will show off a lot more mountain scenery. By the way, have you watched my newest video (I-15 in the far northwestern corner of Arizona)? Brand new annotation style and presentation.

Las cruces, nm's highway 70 from augustin pass to the i-25 junction, should be your next video. Great scenic view of the city. :)

I drive this road ALL the time... cool!

[@FreewayBrent]

An HOV lane is a carpool lane; your vehicle must meet a minimal occupancy requirement (most HOV lanes in the United States and Canada require at least 2 people). So if the lane is designated HOV 2+, you must have at least 2 people in your vehicle to enter the lane.

[@FreewayBrent]

What about the mobile camera vans and SUV's that the Arizona State Patrol utilize? I passed by one going 81 MPH in a 75 zone. Does the same 10 MPH buffer apply??
I figured they were widening it to 8 lanes. Thanks for the heads up.

It's weird how flat Phoenix looks in this vid. Because I live there and when I go driving I see the mountains everywhere.

[@quatlen]

:) very nice quality.

[@ReassuringSmile]

What is this awesome tune that I'm listening to!?

[@blackXSpr]

High Occupancy Vehicle
Some states it is 2 people and more, some states it is 3 and more. AZ you can use HOV with only 2 people in the car. Virginia needed 3 when I lived there, may have since changed (they were discussing changing it when I moved)

[@RandiRooBoo]

Just because they aren't as tall as other mountains doesn't mean they don't qualify as mountains. A mountain is a mountain if its terrain peaks to 2000 feet or above.

[@blackXSpr]

1:33 I saw a truck JUST like that the other day, NO top, ladder in back through middle... Anyone know what its for? Makes no sense to me!!!

[@santopeyote]

HOV line, wath does it means?? everione have a nice holidays!! regards from guadalajara mexico....

[@blackXSpr]

They have been completely removed!

[@chrispycritter2]

Mountains? I think you mean hills. Most mountains are over 5,000 feet. The only mountain in the Phoenix area is 4 peaks which is way outside the city limits. Try Mountains such as the San Fransisco Peaks in Flagstaff, 12,000 feet. Safford, Mt. Graham, 10500 feet. Tucson Mt. Lemmon 9500 feet.

[@FreewayBrent]

Not too fast. Between 63 and 70 MPH, depending on the speed of the vehicle(s) ahead of me. With the speed cameras in place, you're pretty much a fool if you speed along I-10 in Phoenix...unless you wanna end up with a thousand dollars of fines, mailed to you. :-X
