Phoenix is big,and that map doesn't do it justice. As well, many features that make the metro area difficult to traverse are not shown. Once you start adding the mountains that break up the various municipalities you get a better idea of why getting around can be difficult. To give you some scale, Metro Calgary is 5,107 square kilometers in size. Metro Phoenix is 37,725 kilometers in size. If you drive from the far southeast reaches of the city to the far northwest reaches it can take almost two hours to make the trip. Add in that you have 3.25 million people in the city and it becomes a challenge to get around, even with 10 lane highways in spots.

And it's plus 40 degrees Celsius, so your car better have AC during that 2 hour drive. I've made that drive many a time. Not pleasant during rush hours.
