    Whew. That will tie things up for awhile. They just did 13 Mile by my house, started in November last year and finished a few weeks ago. I had tons of traffic in my neighborhood. The Warren PD were camping out on Masonic catching the people going 2 at a time through the stop signs.

    Seems like it's getting worse. More cars on the road and I'm catching way more lights.

    Used to be 25 mins to go 15 miles.

    This week and last week it has taken me 40-45 minutes to get there.

    Good to hear one added lane between Garfield and Romeo Plank will solve the traffic problem on m59....

    Nothing can solve the traffic problem on M-59. Way to many drives, traffic signals and crossovers to promote effective traffic flow.

    The worst point on M-59 is East bound at Van Dyke, you could sit there for 15 minutes. It would be nice if they could make that an exit off M-59 to Van Dyke.

    Full re-construction? I need to move lol

    I'm 9.9 miles 15 minutes during the day less if I go in or home in the middle of the night because all the traffic lights are blinking
    But... Driving a charter bus I usually get 400 miles added to it

    35-40 minutes of paved, two lane back woods roads between Oxford and Holly. Up to 75mph in multiple places.

    What I want to know is, who is the idiot that invented these new traffic signals that monitor traffic flow? If you're not riding the cars ass in front of you, you catch every light and then have to wait for what seems like an eternity for it to turn green again. No more timing the lights and i'm sure people are using a lot more gas while sitting idling more. Also there's the road rage factor where people get more irritable from catching so many lights for so long.

    Me, I wish we could go back to being able to time lights and no roundabouts (because a lot of people freak out).
