In 1979, the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) approved a request from California and Arizona to truncate US 66 from the California state line, east to I-40 and US 666 in Sanders. [25] However, Arizona continued to designate and sign US 66 between Sanders and I-40/US 93 in Kingman. [26]
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.
The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) is the agency responsible for building and maintaining the Interstate Highways in the Arizona State Highway System. These highways are built to Interstate Highway standards , which are freeways that have a 75-mile-per-hour (121 km/h) speed limit in rural areas and a 65 mph (105 km/h) speed limit ...
Valley Metro was created by the Transit 2000 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), also called the Transit 2000 plan, which involved a half-cent sales tax, and was approved by Phoenix voters in 2000.

[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 ...
The road headed north toward Tempe to U.S. Route 80. [14] Between 1951 and 1958, the road was extended south to its current terminus at SR 84; at this time, I-10 had still not been built, nor had the route become a state highway. [15] By 1971, I-10 was finished through the south and east edges of the Phoenix area. [16]
State Route 73, also known as SR 73, is a U-shaped state highway, though it is signed north–south, primarily serving the Fort Apache Indian Reservation in eastern Arizona.
