ADOT: Multiple wrong-way drivers cause dangerous situation on L-202 Santan in Chandler
CHANDLER, Ariz. - Multiple drivers were caught driving the wrong way on L-202 Santan westbound while attempting to use an on-ramp as an off-ramp in order to avoid a traffic backup.
The Arizona Department of Transportation cameras captured vehicles driving back up the on-ramp at McClintock.
"On-ramps are not for escaping traffic. These drivers, who didn't heed our many closure announcements, headed into the closure on L-202 WB Santan. Now they're putting other drivers at risk by driving the wrong way up the McClintock on-ramp," tweeted ADOT.
Department of Public Safety troopers arrived at the scene and began turning drivers around.
It is unclear if troopers cited any drivers.
