City-specific driving tip

Because so much Ahwatukee traffic funnels onto I-10, the ramps at Chandler Boulevard, Ray Road and Elliot Road back up at rush hour. Pick your lane well before the ramp and leave space ahead. On the Loop 202 along Pecos Road, traffic moves fast, so match its speed on the ramp before you merge.
