  When a majority of the 19 cent per gallon gas tax goes to fund teachers pensions instead of roads, and zero cents of the 6 cent per gallon state tax is used for roads (another 24 cents per gallon), I think it's more a matter of misappropriating present funds rather than needing to double my registration fees and adding another gas tax. Plus, we have by far the heaviest truck weight limits in the country (82 tons!). Then you compromise concrete's integrity by cutting it with a wheel so you can add the tar strip expansion slots that only make the road fail faster, plus we don't demand a guarantee of how long a road will last like other states do because said paving company donates thousands to political campaign funds to keep the status quo......but the problem is me not paying enough in taxes. Sure it is.

  My reply to the Road Commission person. It was posted, then disappeared. I said among other things there is not a funding issue, but rather a fund misappropriation issue. Why is it 15 cents of the 19 cent per gallon "gas tax" goes to funding teacher pensions and only 4 cents goes to roads, and none of the 6 percent sales tax on gas (24 cents per gallon!) is dedicated to road funding, I don't see it as a funding issue.

- Please I had a feeling that there was more to this than you let on. This isn't a place to vent your political views. You got an answer that you complained you never had received and now you want to whine to the ORC. Yeah it's their fault. Complain to the right people if you want to get results.

pothole Closed

Bellarmine & Walton Rochester Hills, Michigan - Rochester Hills

there is a large pothole aligned with the right tire as you make a right turn onto Bellarmine from WB Walton. There is a very small amount of room to avoid it.

Running red light Open

Raintree & Adams - Rochester Hills

There are 2 lights at this intersection. For a real long time drivers heading south on Adams run the 2nd set of lights at the intersection of Raintree and Adams. As you head east from Raintree to turn onto Adams you have to wait until all of the traffic goes thru the intersection regardless if you have a green light or not.

  Contact the Sheriff's Dept. & have them pull the accident reports, determine why the accidents are occuring, make recommendations to the road commission & follow up with you. They should be your advocate in these issues.

  I have repeatedly called the Oakland County Sheriff to report this intersection. The timing is wrong for the light(s). Regardless, one or the other one of these lights needs to turn red first. It's ridiculous and until someone gets killed, it seems that it will continue to stay this way. I plan on continuing to call the Sheriff to complain.

  Paul, good suggestion. I wasn't aware that you could make such a request. Because everyone in this area seems to be aware of the intersection and its inherent danger, I wouldn't be surprised at all that there hasn't been a large amount of accidents. I will, however, make the request. Thank you.

  This has not been resolved and is still as dengerous as ever. I have tried on tow different occasions to get the Road Commission to respond to an email that was sent to them and they never responded. Apparently not an issue to them until someone is seriously injured or killed. Next step is to go to the City Council and petition them to intervene.

No turn on red Open

Walton & Adams Rochester Hills, Michigan - Rochester Hills

There needs to be consideration made for a 'no turn on red' sign at the corner of W bound Walton and Adams. There are no breaks in traffic along the stretch of Adams to Rain Tree to allow for cars to turn in of or out of the shopping centers on either side of Adams, especially on weekends. It is dangerous and there have been too many accidents already.

cars turning right on red Open

State Highway 59 Rochester Hills, MI 48307, USA - Rochester Hills

Cars still turn right on red off the M59 ramp exit onto Rochester Road even when they are not supposed to which makes it difficult to pull onto Rochester Road from Nawakwa

  Many cars are turning right on red going north on Rochester Road. Three signs are there and even a lit sign! This is a violation and should be monitored. Too many law breakers here.

Left turn from Northbound Adams Rd. to Westbound M59 dangerous Open

2500 S Adams Rd Rochester Hills, MI 48309, USA - Rochester Hills

In times of higher traffic volumes, it can be almost impossible and/or dangerous to enter the westbound M59 entrance ramp from the northbound Adams road left turn lane (turn around). Either southbound traffic on Adams is coming at speed, or vehicles turning south on Adams from eastbound Hamlin (many from westbound M59 exit) constantly block access to Adams or to cross Adams to use the entrance ramp. This intersection either needs a traffic light or there should be 'No Turn On Red' for eastbound Hamlin Rd. traffic that wants to go southbound on Adams Rd. In times of poor weather, the delayed traffic attempting to get to the M59 entrance ramp also backs up on northbound Adams Rd causing an additional safety issue.

  I take this intersection twice a day. You have to be pro-active. Those who cannot will sit forever. I see little need for additional signals....

  If "You have to be pro-active. Those who cannot will sit forever." is true, that actually supports the need for either a 'No Turn On Red' from eastbound Hamlin to southbound Adams or an actual traffic light for the northbound Adams to westbound M59 entrance ramp turnaround. This turnaround that allows northbound Adams traffic to cut accross southbound Adams traffic to access westbound M59 is one lane. This causes a large backup into northbound Adams traffic (a safety concern) due to many drivers with a weak constitution sit contemplating crossing traffic forever. Much of the southbound Adams traffic is traveling in excess of 50mph, and many vehicles slow in the right lanes to turn onto the westbound M59 entrance ramp. This difference in speeds of approaching traffic causes many drivers to sit for extended periods before being able to proceed. Once poor weathers conditions exist, the problems are compounded. The cheapest and easiest solution is to prevent Hamlin traffic from turning onto southbound Adams when the hamlin light is red. This will give an amble window of time to keep traffic flowing. A simple 'No Turn On Red' sign solves all safety issues.

  Recently there is construction on other northbound avenues, so considerably more traffic is using Adams to travel north. This condition (dangerous to turn from NB Adams onto WB M59 and backed-up traffic on NB Adams) has only worsened. Those waiting to turn left accross southbound traffic onto westbound M59 back way up over the M59 bridge and extend into the traffic attempting to exit from eastbound M59. With only a slight amount of inclement weather, the whole area turns into complete gridlock due to no car being able to turn left onto W.B. M59 even after long waits. Somehow more time must be given to allow these vehicles to turn safely. The road commision should view this area between 4:30PM and 5:45PM.

Tienken Road repairs. Open

330 West Tienken Road Rochester Hills, MI 48306, USA - Rochester Hills

Tienken, both east & west bound, between Richester Road & Adams should be widened & resurfaced before starting anything between Rochester road & Sheldon. I drive this route everyday. Between Rochested Road & Sheldon there are only a few potholes that need to be hot patched. The pavement is collapsing between Rochester & Adams. Why is Rochester Hills focusing on the wrong stretch?

  Rochester Road will be widened and reconstructed between Rochester and Livernois in 2014. We had originally planned to do the whole section from Sheldon to Livernois at the same time. However, it has taken us longer than expected to purchase the necessary right of way on the west side of Rochester, so that portion of the project was delayed until next year.

  I believe that it's a Road Commission issue (checked on it awhile ago and that's what I was told by the City) and they should be monitoring this issue. Have no idea why they're not responding.

Rochester road traffic light timing Open

Rochester Rd Rochester Hills, Michigan - Rochester Hills

It seems that I have to stop at 90 % of the traffic lights when driving south bound on Rochester Rd from Avon Rd all the way to Troy. This has to be the worst case of traffic management that I've ever experienced. It makes no difference if it's at 6 AM on Monday or noon on Saturday. The lights are not timed well at all. Is anyone looking into this issue?

Crosswalk Needed Open

2544 S Adams Rd Rochester Hills, MI 48309, USA - Rochester Hills

With the construction of all of the shopping on the north/west side of Adams and the trail on the South/East side there are a lot of pedestrians and bicyclists that cross the road here. There is no safe way to get across the road and I expect that if there hasn't already been someone hit here, there will eventually be a fatal pedestrian accident here. A crossing light that only turns red when it is triggered by someone that wants to cross probably be the easiest and safest addition to this stretch of road.

Poorly Times Traffic Signal. Open

  This signal is already a smart signal. It runs longer for Hamlin because there is more traffic on Hamlin. However, we'll take a look to make sure everything is functioning properly. - Road Commission for Oakland County

  I am referring to the light at Hamlin & the M59 exit for Adams. There are no camera's at this intersection, so I'm wondering how this is considered as having a smart signal?
