Nadine, I am posting this here for you specifically to get a good laugh. Others may find it amusing. For the wussies, it'll keep them away from the Phoenix area altogether. 
*************************
HOW TO DRIVE IN PHOENIX:
1. You must first learn to pronounce the city name, it is: FEE-NICKS.
There are other names to learn such as Ahwatukee (Ah-wa-Too-Kee) but that will be included in the advanced course.
2. The morning rush hour is from 5:00 am to noon.
The evening rush hour is from noon to 7:00 pm.
Friday's rush hour starts on Thursday morning.
3. The minimum acceptable speed on most freeways is 85 mph. On Loop 101, your speed is expected to at least match the highway number.
Anything less is considered 'Wussy'.
4. Forget the traffic rules you learned elsewhere. Phoenix has its own version of traffic rules. For example, cars/trucks with the loudest muffler go first at a four-way stop; the trucks with the biggest tires go second.
However, East Valley, SUV-driving, cell phone-talking moms ALWAYS have the right of way.
5. If you actually stop at a yellow light, you will be rear ended, cussed
out, and possibly shot.
6. Never honk at anyone. Ever. Seriously.
It's another offense that can get you shot.
7. Road construction is permanent and continuous in Phoenix. Detour barrels are moved around for your entertainment pleasure during the middle of the night to make the next day's driving a bit more exciting.
8. Watch carefully for road hazards such as drunks, skunks, dogs, barrels,
cones, cows, horses, cats, mattresses, shredded tires, squirrels, rabbits,
crows, vultures, javelina, roadrunners, and the coyotes feeding on any of
these items.
9. Maricopa Freeway, Papago Freeway and the '10' are the same road unless it's the part of the I17 that is also called the Maricopa Freeway.
SR202 is the same road as The Red Mountain FWY unless it's east of the 101 and then it becomes the SanTan, then it ends, and then becomes the SanTan again.
SR 143 is a street AND a freeway at the same time.
Either way, it's the Hohokam Expressway.
No one really knows what purpose SR153 has exactly.
SR51 has been called both the Squaw Peak Freeway and Piestewa Freeway; depends who's talking to you.
US60 on the east side is the Superstition Freeway.
On the west side it's a diagonal road with lots of traffic lights that's best avoided altogether.
Sometimes you'll hear things on the traffic reports that refer to 'the
innerloop.' No one (besides traffic reporters) ever called anything in Phoenix by that name. Matter of fact, I'm not sure where that is exactly.
Dunlap and Olive are the same street.
Jefferson becomes Washington, but they are not the same street.
SR 101 is the Pima FWY east of I-17, which is the Black Canyon FWY (south of the 101, north of the 101 it is Veterans Memorial HWY) unless you are south of the 202 then the 101 becomes the Price FWY.
SR 101 west of I-17 (at all times) is the Agua Fria FWY.
No one is quite sure where Bethany Home is.
Lastly, Thunderbird Rd. becomes Cactus Rd.but Cactus Rd. doesn't become Thunderbird Rd. because it dead ends at a mountain.
10. If someone actually has their turn signal on, wave them to the shoulder immediately to let them know it has been accidentally activated.
11. If you are in the left lane and only driving 70 in a 55-65 mph zone, you are considered a road hazard and will be 'flipped off' accordingly. If you return the flip, you'll be shot.
12. For summer driving, it is advisable to wear potholders on your hands.
13. It's a sport to make a yellow light from at least 500 feet away.
(If this weren't so true, it would really be pretty funny!)
Number 9 was particularly helpful to me, how about you?

I need to add:
#14 The Traffic signals on the east side have the left turn signal after the light turns red and the ones on the west side of town turn green before the thru traffic gets a green light.
#15 Between September and May rush hours are the same on the weekend as on the week days, we just call them something different depending on the time of year........Holiday traffic, Snowbird traffic, event traffic etc.
This was so funny Sam!!!!! I got a couple of laugh-out-louds out of it.....thanks.

Okay true story; When my twins had their party, I walked into the kitchen and all 6 girls are silently sitting at my kitchen table staring at their cell phones. After observing this for a few moments one of them burst out laughing. I asked "what are ya'll doing?" My daughter says "texting" and I ask "who?" (thinking all your texting buddies are here) and she says, "each other" ??????  ??????? The world is digressing. They can't have a verbal conversation? They have to text the person sitting next to them???????? Skeery!!!!!  They already talk in text sometimes....... 
Now both Tink and Robb did that at the GT (via posting) as well.
