Mostly the problem is from 4:30 to 6:30 pm or so...typical rush hour. North/South traffic backups are pretty much the same as before the light, to be expected at that time. But 23 mile going eastbound has gotten much worse it seems.

Friday Oct. 29th 5:20 pm, traffic going eastbound on 23mile backed up almost to light at that road commission side road (don't recall name)right past evola music. I've been going to evola music for 2 years always at same time/day (fridays 5:15pm) and until these lights were installed I have never seen eastbound traffic backed up this far.

Monday Nov 1st 4:20 pm (sitting at light): Traffic going eastbound on 23 mile backed up to Evola Music. Traffic going westbound on 23 mile backed past Taco Bell/Arby's entrance. Prior to these lights being installed, I have never seen traffic on 23 backed up this far and I've lived in this area for 15 years.

Ironically Southbound Schoenherr had not one car at the light and northbound Schoenherr had usual amount for that time of day.

So everyone on 23 (both ways) backed up at red light while it's green for Schoenherr, which had no traffic going southbound & typical amount at that time of day going north.

The Road Commission of Macomb County is not able to provide replies for all postings on the SeeClickFix website.

Thank you.

The Macomb County Road Commission NEEDS TO LEAVE THEIR OFFICES, DRIVE IN SHELBY TWP AND SEE FOR THEMSELVES THE RIDICULOUS NATURE OF THESE LIGHTS. Then go back and set the lights up as intended, move traffic easier and safer through intersections.
They cannot keep putting out blanket statements of, 1) we don't have enough resources 2) the public will need to educate themselves 3) we are not able to provide replies for all postings on the SeeClickFix website.
Change is fine and the new lights will be great when they are fine tuned, but don't believe for a second that you have found the panacea of traffic control as it is now. Please for all involved, travel to all intersections with these new lights and survey for yourself. Do it at rush hour and down time. If you have already done this, send someone different out there and do it again!

Yes it is bad,I work on that corner and get out of work at 3:30.
Never have I had a problem turning left onto Schoenherr to go east. Now it is impossible. Our only hope to get out of our street is to jump into the center turn lane and creep over or floor it and rush in to eastbound Schoenherr. And sometimes that's impossible because the left turn lane to go north on Schoenherr is backed up. FIX IT!!!!

Road commission posts a reply stating that they're not able to post a reply? am i the only one that finds that highly ironic(and a bit sad)?

is this the same gov't reasoning that brought us these ill-timed lights?

Kathy B - There are way too many emails for us to review and respond and so many blogs and complaints that are repetitive, ill-conceived or just impossible to address. We attemped to reply to many of these postings in the past; however, it has become too time consuming to get to every posting. We have heard the same concerns from other Road Commissions as well.

If there is an issue that a resident feels is important enough for the Road Commission to investigate and reply on, then we don't believe it is too much to ask for the resident to contact us directly, especially when we provide an email address and phone number.

Still a mess..but getting a bit better
