Not really. Been here since the very early 80s. I remember the terrible traffic back then. Then they built a shitload of infrastructure and things smoothed out (if you were outside of Phoenix proper) for a long time. I can remember driving to Anaheim regularly back in the day and once you got across the AZ/CA border it was like going from glass to off road conditions. I remember driving around AZ when I got back thinking, "Damn. We have it GOOD here."
Now? The 202 and the 101 are already falling apart. The 60 is a fucking mess. Etc. Etc.
ADOT, however, has ALWAYS been crooked. Yet every time someone tried to expose it, the story would just "die awayyyyyy". It seems that back then, the "good old boy" network probably had the libs in the Repugnant pissed off becasue they weren't getting their slice of the pie. However, besides (or despite) the back alley deals, the road building got better and better. But now, those same libs run the show and
they are benefiting so it's a new type of silence and ZERO quality control.
Strictly a guess on my part.
