The speed limit for this particular stretch was 45 mph. (sounds high to me, considering there is a bike lane)

Phoenix transportation infrastructure is notoriously bad at handling pedestrians and bicycles because so few people are going to be out biking in 120F summers. There's a knock off effect of exclusively designing a city around middle class car and house types of folks. It's why I left after 20 years in Phoenix and Tempe.

In Atlanta, bicycles are cars share the road (with or without a bike lane) at 45mph speed limits.
