The reverse lanes are the center 'dotted' lanes known to some locals as"suicide lanes" that turn into traffic lanes during rush hour.Proponents have always said the lanes reduce congestion, but opponents maintain they are confusing and dangerous.The lanes in question are the center turning lanes along Seventh Avenue between McDowell Road and Northern Avenue, as well as Seventh Street between McDowell Road and Dunlap Avenue.
The reverse lanes have been around for over 40 years, originally installed to address traffic concerns and congestion as downtown Phoenix was growing. As the Valley has continued to grow, so have the concerns for those who live and work around the corridors. Dickinson owns Melrose Pharmacy, which is located north of Indian School Road on Seventh Avenue. She is one of a group of residents who have been pushing for reverse lanes to end.
“People really want to be able to actually have a community and we can’t because we have this freeway going through our town,” the business owner added.and concluded that eliminating the reverse traffic lanes, partially or completely, “will create operational delays, increase times by more than 40% in some parts, and increase the possibility of crashes due to traffic congestion.”
