What is it with the 87 and wrong way drivers?

Recommended Posts

A few weeks ago I was on my way to Payson about 4AM and about 10 miles north of Fountain Hills here comes a car southbound in the north bound lanes. Yesterday I encountered another vehicle headed north on the southbound  side at the Saguaro Lake turnoff. Pretty crazy stuff.

Usually they are impaired drivers. Maybe in this case coming from the Casino. Scary indeed.

Casino is what I said to my son afterwards even though we were probably 12 or more miles from it. There are a few homes between the Casino and the turnoff but who knows, defintley impaired.

My brother was a rez cop at the Payson casino. after a few drinks, it’s pretty common for people to pull into the north bound lane and drive all the way to the valley.

I just noticed last night they placed some "Wrong way" signs on the 60  southbound from 74... And it really blocks your view of oncoming traffic when trying to cross the road on to the 74 from the southbound 60.  This thread reminded me that I was going to call and have someone check it. I'm sure that sign is more likely to kill someone than a wrong way driver. Especially with all the motorcycles that run up that way.

They are posting wrong way signs on  alot of freeways. Sad thing is most of them drivers can't read or can't read English.......BOB!

Just watched someone drive by the wrong way on the access road on the 17!  How do you not know your doing it!  No cars at that time so he just cruised on through.

Every time that I drive thru the big city, I notice bad drivers.  Most are driving as if they think that they are Nascar drivers, one minute late, on a drug of some sort, or all of the above.   In Tucson our roads are so bad that it slows down traffic.  😑
