18 1/2 Rough Tracks Open

6854 18 1/2 Mile Rd Sterling Heights, MI - Sterling Heights

Railroad tracks on 18 1/2 mile cause drivers to use "turn lane" to cross tracks where it is less bumpy whether going east or west drivers use the "turn lane" could case head on collision. Also, motorcycles have to get dangerously close to the right side curbs in either direction to avoid the harsh bumps. Large trucks have to come to a crawl to cross.

  Scary when on-coming traffic crosses into left turn lane and you're not sure if they're avoiding bump or falling asleep

Large bulge in left lane, EB 18 Mile Rd East of Van Dyke Archived

8172-8300 18 Mile Rd Sterling Heights, MI 48313, USA - Sterling Heights

The bump on southbound Utica Rd under the M 53 Highway was fixed yesterday! Great job! The excess asphalt was ground down and the road is so much smoother!
Can we get the other bump on 18 Mile Rd east of Van Dyke fixed now?
Thanks

Poor road conditions completely unacceptable. Archived

35000-35198 Dequindre Rd Sterling Heights, MI 48310, USA - Sterling Heights

Please do something about the poor condition of Dequindre Road between 13 Mile and Metropolitan Parkway. It is impossible to travel at the posted speed limit due to all of the craters in the road. The road is tore up so bad and I witnessed a car lose a bumper over the weekend from bouncing up and down. All of the repairs that were made in the spring have failed and the problem is getting worse. Dequindre Road northbound just past 15 mile was just completely repaved within the past 5 years, yet the condition of the road would make an unsuspecting person believe the road has not been touched in nearly 20 years.

  Can anyone give a valid reason to install traffic management cameras...everyone that drives agrees they actually make traffic worse...yet cities continue to buy into them...did you know cities can be given a grant for implementing federally approved traffic control measures? The city leadership will give you the line "they improve traffic and safety" but they can't tell you how or, most importantly, show any kind of evidence to justify the system installation

  We're glad to share with you how our FAST-TRAC system of "adaptive" traffic signals, which often incldes video imaging vehicle detection devices improves both traffic flow and motorist safety. In fact, independent studies by MSU, U of M and the University of Detroit Mercy have demonstrated that this system is both improving traffic flow and significantly reducing serious injury accidents. Please see the FAST-TRAC page on the Road Commission for Oakland County Web site for more info (http://www.rcocweb.org/Commuters/FAST-TRAC.aspx) or check out the attached FAST-TRAC Benefits sheet.

Bumpy Train Track Crossing Open

6700 18 1/2 Mile Rd Sterling Heights, MI 48314, USA - Sterling Heights

The tracks sunk below the pavement surface on east and west bound 18 1/2 mile road. BIG BUMP when you hit them! The only smooth point is the left turn lane.

  yes I drive in the center turn lane because that area does not have such a bad bump

  This is costing taxpayers in wear and tear on their cars. In addition, those who swerve into the center lane to avoid the bump probably don't realize that they are creating a dangerous situation. What happens if cars on both directions try it at the same time? What if there is debris in the center lane (which is not commonly used for traffic) and the car has to try to swerve back to avoid it? This swerving is also probably illegal, since you would be driving in the center lane without the intent to turn left.
  
  Who is going to fix this road, or at least put up a sign that says "BUMP"?

Intersection Needs to be Repaved - Poor Asphalt Conditions and Pot holes Open

8000-8698 Riverland Dr Sterling Heights, MI 48314, USA - Sterling Heights

From Northbound Van Dyke, the right turn lane to Riverland Dr. and the first 50 ft. of Riverland is in very poor repair. There are currently pot holes here, and every winter, bigger pot holes open up. The repairs just make a bumpy mess. The bumps also exist when turning left from Westbound Riverlan onto Southbound Van Dyke. The intersection needs to be re-paved.

  As expected, the winter months came and the problem is worse. You used to be able to try to avoid the holes, but now you can't because there are so many and they are all next to each other.
  
  Sterling Heights DPW or MCRC, is this going to be fixed???

  The intersection was repaved very nicely, but stopped short of fixing all of the potholes in the right turn lane from VD to Riverland. This is still all patched up and bumpy. Unfortunately, the job was only half done.

Traffic problems Open

2400-2526 Metropolitan Pkwy Sterling Heights, MI 48310, USA - Sterling Heights

The lights need to be adjusted to the speed limit. Its horrible for the residence living off metro parkway to pull of their streets. Its bumper to bumper every morning. Because the speed drops to 45mph once you cross Dequindre.
