I have no idea how long ago it was when I read that.

There aren't many roads that wide in Europe, at least not that I know
of (which doesn't say much). 2-2, 2-3, 3-3 maybe (so 2-2-2 might be a
possibility).

Possibly some of the German autobahnen, especially around Frankfurt,
maybe along the Frankfurt-Mannheim-Karlsruhe corridor.

I think a number exist near most capital cities as well - Berlin being
an exception.

Apropos Phoenix (or, as some of would have it, Hell on Earth),

Hey!!! Both Death Valley, California and El Azizia (or is it Al`Aziziyah)
Libya are warmer. It's only hit 120F/49C once so far this year.

I worked for a while at the Motorola facility that used to be located
on S. Diablo Way ('bout where I-10 shifts from more-or-less N-S to
E-W, not far from the airport.

Only moved here in 1996, but it's right about the Az-60/I-10 interchange.

I kinda got discouraged at the climate when I found it was ~100 F in
mid-April and, despite the claims that "it's really a _dry_ climate",
found the humidity worse then than here in El Paso during the
mid-summer monsoon season.

Ah, but think about the snow birds here in February - "Ah, Margaret, it
is so nice here - let's buy a house and move here". They're ready to
sell by May at the latest.

Mid-April is right around the end of the wet season, so yeah, the
humidity would be up there a bit. A month or so later, and it's going
to be bone dry. We've had several days this year when the temps were
over 105F and the dewpoint below 20F, and thats beyond the range of the
humidity table I have here (it's below 6% RH). It's relatively muggy
right now, 104F/40C with a dewpoint of 55F/13C - that's 20% RH.

Temps at and above 105, coupled with exceptionally high relative
humidity ain't what I'd call desert - or even pleasant - living.

During the month of June, the highs were all above 105, and mainly in
the hundred-teens (vaguely 20+ days over 110F), but it was much drier,
with the dewpoints below 40F/4C. Not sure about the laws in KELP, but
most (if not all) workplaces here are smoke-free, which means the poor
smokers have to go outside (recent law change here - at least 50 feet
away from the building entrance or air intakes), and they're suffering
because the spray misters aren't pulling the temperature down in the
smoking area. You'd think they'd eventually take the hint. ;-)

But as you know better than I, I'm sure, the micro-climate of the
Phoenix basin has been changed over the last several years due to
increased irrigation and a surge in population.

That's definitely the case. Were you here after they created "Tempe
Town Lake" in the Salt River bed (about half way between Priest and
Mill, back to about 3/4 mile East of Rural)? It's about 2.5 miles long,
and 500-700 feet wide and a couple of feet deep. And people like me
worry about the one inch or so of water that evaporates off of our
swimming pool every week. Of course, the rest of the river is dry
(well, except for last weekend, when several thunderstorms flooded
everything). Another sign of the idiocy is that the Thomas Guide
lists 176 golf courses in the metro area - all watered nightly (with
gray water to be sure - but wow!)
