There was significant local opposition in the 1960s and 1970s to expansion of the freeway system. [4] Because of this, by the time public opinion began to favor freeway expansion in the 1980s and 1990s, Phoenix freeways had to be funded primarily by local sales tax dollars rather than diminishing sources of federal money; newer freeways were, and continue to be, given state route designations ...

Description: This is a map showing existing, planned and conceptual freeways in the Phoenix Metropolitan area. It is based on planning documents for the cities of Phoenix, Mesa, Peoria, Buckeye, Surprise, Goodyear, Coolidge, Florence and Apache Junction, MAG studies and ADOT information.
Carefree Highway is an east–west arterial road in the northern part of the Phoenix metropolitan area. The highway begins where Arizona State Route 74 (SR 74) meets the north end of Lake Pleasant Parkway in northern Peoria; SR 74 continues west along Lake Pleasant Road.
New freeways are being added to the area, such as Loop 101, Loop 202, and eventually SR 24 and SR 30. Currently, two major interstates serve the area, I-10 and I-17. In the past decade, more than 100 miles (160 km) of new freeway have been constructed in the Phoenix metropolitan area by ADOT.
The same principle applies with business routes for all other Interstates in Arizona. [3] Designations listed under Highway Logs and GIS data however, use the Arizona Transportation Information System (ATIS) nomenclature. The ATIS designation for a non-suffixed state route is "S (Number)". The number at the end is always three digits long.
