Description
There is only one "Right only" lane to turn onto W bound 11 mile rd at Sfld road (or to head onto W bound 696) or use turn around to get onto E 696. However, often people in the 2nd right lane which is for Southfield Southbound traffic turn right as well. That lane should be marked "Straight" only re: (upward arrow) as they often overlap the "Right only lane" traffic when they have no business turning there in the first place

On southbound Southfield Road approaching I-696 there are lane-use signs informing motorist that the right lane is for right turns only and the second lane from the curb is for through traffic only. There are also two sets of pavement markings on the road surface that indicate the same.
We will check the pavement markings to see if they're worn and need to be replaced.

Nice to see the Road Commission addressed this problem. Of course I'm being facetious, no changes or improvements were ever made.
Now it's even worse because it's part of the detour for the Southfield freeway that is closed. I work a couple of blocks from this intersection and almost get hit once or twice a week by someone making an illegal turn from the straight lane.
It would be nice if the the Lathrup Village police would target this intersection.
