Default How did KPHX Class B get so screwed up?

The answer is on the same site you glorify and probably smoke
choads from. I quote from the Phoenix TAC:

The *VFR TRANSITION ROUTE* over Phoenix Sky Harbor Int'l Airport is
based on Runway in use. 7s/8: use the West route. 25s/26, use the East
route.


A transition route isn't a corridor. A corridor is outside the Class B; a
transition route goes through it. Look at KSAN to see a true VFR corridor.


As long as we're on the subject, let's mention the LAX Special Flight
Rules Area directly over the airport between 3,500' and 4,500':
http://skyvector.com/perl/code?id=KLAX&scale=3 . It is a VFR route
through KLAX Class B surface area that doesn't require ATC
authorization nor communication with ATC!

There's an explanation of how to use it on the lower left hand corner
of the KLAX Terminal Control Area chart.
