Exit guide

[edit]

Regarding the constant edits to the exit guide, Washington Street is NOT an exit from this highway in the south bound direction. Please do not turn the Washington Street in to a 2 column span.

Furthermore, the Light Rail station is not open yet. Please add this in when a light rail station is actually there. Thanks. Cascadia TALK| HISTORY 03:33, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Washington Street (SB) is not an exit from SR 143

[edit]

I keep wondering why people keep considering Washington Street (SB) as some mystical unnumbered exit from SR143, but it is actually part of the exit from SR Loop 202. The signage on the 202 reads "Exit 3: SR 143- McDowell Road | Washington Street" (the | denotes a vertical separation line). The Washington Street exit is not part of SR 143, and is only part of the Loop 202. Could we now please stop including a section on a unnumbered Southbound Washington Street exit?

Primary Purpose??

[edit]

Perhaps the original purpose - in the 60s? - was to provide Sky Harbor access, but since at least the 1990s the 143 has been far more heavily utilized as a north-south connection between the 202 and I-10/US-60. I cannot even fathom how much more congested I-17 (7 miles west) and the 101 (10 miles west) would be if they had to handle that traffic. It would be genuinely surprising if traffic counts supported Sky Harbor access as the primary utilization, so a citation would be great. Iroll (talk) 22:47, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
