The new map is incorrect, it shows the 101 stopping at the northern interchange with the 202, but it should continue south through the Tempe/Mesa border and into Chandler, ending at the southern interchange with the 202. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.171.231.33 (talk) 02:56, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Not a US Highway..

Will someone add something here about the speed cameras?

[edit] History

I made a minor edit. Loop 101 began construction in the late 1980s. The first segment from Glendale Avenue to Olive Avenue in the West Valley was completed sometime around 1988-1989. It was most certainly before 1990.

[edit] length

its actually 61 miles in length, and the last exit to the 202 (san tan) is 61C. I fixed some errors and added a bit on photo enforcement and the controversy thereof/

[edit] Edit for general info

Added a source for the speeder. http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/index.php?sty=69787

Along with some additional need information. http://www.scottsdaleaz.gov/photoradar/101faq.asp Nbbs 08:04, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

I didn't know whether or not leaving detail about the car was relevant. Seeing as details on the car contradicts the ticket I felt it was pertinent as to the reliability of the photo radars.

I'd definitely leave it in, since the section is dedicated to the controversy over the system. It's sourced and is an important point in the story of the enforcement. Uagent 17:16, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Exit Chart

We need to add an exit chart. P.S. Remember to put Ray rd. in the "Chandler" section. I know, because I'm from Chandler. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.176.253.30 (talk) 01:16, 20 March 2007 (UTC).

I'm working on it... It's on my "To Do" list. And yes, I know Ray Road is in Chandler. My username may be Cascadia, but I'm in Arizona. CascadiaTALK|HISTORY 03:01, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
Well, I don't exactly know how to categorize the McDowell exit, since while it's definitely on incorporated land, Phoenix ends and Avondale starts right at McDowell in that area. I'd go with it being a Phoenix exit, since the ramps themselves are wholly within Phoenix territory. In any case, the Thomas and Indian School exits are within Phoenix, and I'll edit the chart as such. Uagent 09:11, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] About the exit chart...

We need to add some color. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.176.253.30 (talk) 02:24, 3 April 2007 (UTC).

I personally like to do color when I create an exit chart, makes it easier to read. However, this isn't in line with the Exit List Guideline. Heck, even when I try to adhere to that, there is without a doubt a "non conformity" message that appears above it. Cascadia TALK| HISTORY 02:27, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Some minor improvements...

I added some information I found on the AZDOT website for the loop 101. I added that link to the sources. I also added some help text for some of the exits up by my house. Please feel free to revert if you feel they do not meet standards, etc. I did my best. 24.251.84.221 01:37, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
