Suburban Traffic Concerns in Goodyear
S 173rd Ave and W Lower Buckeye Rd is a busy intersection on the western edge of Goodyear, serving both rural and suburban traffic patterns. As the city continues to expand, these once-quiet crossroads are experiencing more frequent collisions due to increased traffic volume and development pressure.
In 2024, Goodyear saw a rise in traffic accidents along newly expanded roadways, with many crashes linked to speed, distraction, and unfamiliarity with changing road layouts. Intersections near residential growth corridors are particularly vulnerable.
Motorists are encouraged to drive attentively, follow posted speed limits, and be prepared for unexpected stops or turning vehicles at suburban intersections like this one.
