Need Traffic Light at HFHII Archived

11752-11782 Clinton River Rd Sterling Heights, MI 48313, USA - Sterling Heights

Need a Traffic Light at Henry Ford High II. For the safety of students some one should install a traffic light at this location before a major accident.

  It will never happen. It is too costly to reconstruct the bridge over M-53 and frankly a waste of money given that the congestion lasts for about 5 minutes in the morning only.
  
  There is no congestion in the afternoon. It’s just a bunch of kids speeding out of the school property onto Clinton River Road. Widening the road won’t stop them. Sterling Heights Police needs to do their job there.

  I live in that area and I wholeheartedly agree! The students AND parents take reckless chances. The light could function as a stop light between the hours of 6:30 a.m. - 8:a.m. and from 1:30 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. At other times and on weekends it could be a flashing yellow.

  If the parents and students take reckless chances, increase the enforcement in that area for the 30 minutes before school and 30 minutes after school starts. Same goes for afternoon dismissal. No need for another stop light when it is truly only needed for about 20 minutes total M-F.

Is this a Speed Trap?? Archived

M-59 (Hall Road) Between Van Dyke And Mound Sterling Heights, MI - Sterling Heights

M-59 going eastbound speed drops from 70 mph to 55 mph then to 45 mph from Mound to Van Dyke.
The only warning is a diamond yellow sign reading "Reduced Speed Zone Ahead". There is no specification of what the new reduced speed will be. The speed limit drops to 55 mph. Then another "Reduced Speed Zone Ahead" and the speed limit drops to 45 mph.
In the "Old Days" a white rectangular sign would have read "Reduced Speed Ahead 55 mph" then another white rectangular sign "Reduced Speed Ahead 45 mph".
Why must we be kept in suspense until the new speed limit sign appears?
I'm now used to the situation, but I want the old white sign more informative put up.
I know this might decrease Utica and Sterling Heights speeding revenues, but knowing what the new speed limit will be should make a safer drive.

  I researched this signage situation. The "new" signage should be a yellow diamond WITH the new speed limit on it. Example: Reduced Speed Zone Ahead 55
  
  Someone got lazy and mounted a generic (no number) sign or wanted a speed trap, I guess.

  Do you think the City of Sterling Heights has money coming out of their behind just to make a bridge for a few people riding a bike here? They've just done some major cut backs. Every city and township in Michigan is struggling with their budgets -- where do you propose they get the money for something like this? Idly whining without offering a fiscally-responsible solution is just than - whining.

  A "fiscally-responsible solution" was provided in the first reply. there are wide curb lanes. It looks possible to add bike lanes through narrowing the existing vehicular travel lanes. Road paint is 86 cents a foot.
  
  Also, all Michigan cities and counties are required by state law to spend a minimum of 1% of their state road funding on biking/walking facilities. That might be a good source to pay for this safety project. If not, there are grant funding sources Sterling Heights could apply for.

  2Cents: There are only a "few people" riding bikes because it is so dangerous along these routes. With a proper bike lane, or even just a safer shoulder area, I would ride my bike to work much more often.

Repaving necessary - poor asphalt conditions Open

8100 Clinton River Rd Sterling Heights, MI 48314, USA - Sterling Heights

The asphalt on Canal at the intersection of Clinton River is very poor. The greatest impact seems to be for drivers turning from eastbound Canal Rd. onto southbound Clinton River Rd. This cobblestone-like surface is dangerous for braking and turning due to reduced handling and surface contact. This area is very busy with people turning in both directions during rush hour, and the ability to stop or turn properly is necessary for drivers' safety.

Speeders during school dismissal Open

Ryan Road(13mile-16mile) Macomb, MI - Sterling Heights

this is insane! Bad enough Warren Con. Schools do not use the red flashers when dropping off kids but the people that speed around the bus(es) Law says to stop period yet many do not and yes there has been an accident on Ryan just north of Grissom school too! Thankfully no kids were involved. Morning or afternoon this goes on everyday!

Franklin Park and Ryan flashing light-return to traffic light status for safe... Open

Franklin Park And Ryan Road Sterling Heights, MI 48310, USA - Sterling Heights

Franklin Park light is too confusing to motoristw when flashing-most recent incident is as I was turning left (east) southbound onto Franklin Park with motorists waiting at the red flashing light-the motorist on Franklin park headed west, turning north proceeded in front of me as I was turning on the yellow light and didn't even stop-this light needs to return to a regular traffic light as the motorists in the area do not know what to do here-WAY too many incidents here-

Speeding and Reckless Driving Open

34083-34471 Hayes Rd Fraser, MI 48026, USA - Sterling Heights

Hayes Road North of 12 Mile: 30 to 35 MPH speed limit for 3 miles then jumps to 45 MPH for 1.3 miles. High speeds and reckless driving far in excess of the 45 MPH occur on this section of tree lined road! You name it, it probably happens here. I personally have witnessed motorcycles with one wheel in the air, heard hot rods petal to the metal and regular folks having "fun" screaming out the window at high speeds. It is frightening to see the speeds down this road. I understand the driveway quantity and other factors used to calculate the speed limits would probably dictate a 45 MPH speed limit but jump in speed limit section of Hayes is very tempting to a wide range of drivers. Please help keep things safer along this section of road and remove the temptation. Please continue the 30 MPH limit for just 1.3 miles until the road ends. Please help.

  I know, lets just make all the roads 30 MPH everywhere! Great Idea! (not) This is the dumbest suggestion I've heard on this board. I drive this road often and cars mostly drive between 40-50 MPH, like they should. You think changing the speed limit inconveniencing everyone is going to change the driving habits of a few motorcycles and teens (who will be screaming out their windows no matter the speed they're driving!). Get a grip and find a real problem to complain about! Thanks!

  Nope, leave it alone. It's the only 1 mile section left in this god forsaken County that hasn't been overtaken by out-of-time computer controlled traffic lights and unneeded stop signs.

Gardner Street East Open

Gardner Street East two blocks North of 17 mile, West of mound. - Sterling Heights

This road is hazardous to walk on with the speeders in the morning and after 5:00. Police were called many times. When they do come, they sit in plain site and nobody of course speeds. We have had cars rolled over on neighbors lawns, in ditches and my son was almost hit a few years back. We have no sidewalks and I always worry about the children. We just had a neighbor move before their kids started school so they won't have to walk on the road. Other neighbor's cuss at the driver's and they of course continue speeding faster. When I called 911 to inform them someone lost control into the ditch, the 911 operator said they can't come out because it's not an emergency. We are now looking at moving from this city and locate to another city where the police work for the city and people who pay their wages. Keep in mind this is a gravel road. "Sterling Heights...A gravel road?
