Found this on Gaping Void:
Driving in Phoenix Manifesto1. We drive the temperature here, not the speed limit.
2. We have dedicated Left turn lanes, but don't worry, they are great places to catch up on the newspaper.
3. Since we have left turn lanes, blinkers, horns and lights are optional.
4. Only newbies and rookies use their horns, since we don't use our turn signals, no sense using anything else connected to the steering column.
5. The only exception to the horn rule is just before the sound of crashing.
6. If you are involved in a crash and the other person leaves, they are illegal, have no drivers license or insurance and it's their cousins car.
7. Your favorite store is always on the other side of town.
8. If the person in front of you has white hair, changes lanes and streets, they are snow birds, older than dirt, and have no idea where they are.
9. The Accident report on the radio is always longer than the newscast.
10. Drivetime is quality time, use it wisely, it's bedtime by the time you get home.

Wow - I remember growing up in Phoenix when the Black Canyon was our only (two lane) "freeway" and we were proud of our grid system and timed traffic lights beacuse "it was easy to get anywhere / anytime".
We have the same no-horn rule in SD but our "snowbirds" are "zonies".
