turnaround traffic light is completely unnecessary for a good part of the day Open

1137-1157 E Long Lake Rd Troy, MI 48085, USA - Troy

The turn around light here, and the one just west of Rochester Rd. on Long Lake Rd., do not need to be going most of the day. They only need to be going on weekdays maybe between 7:30am and 7:00pm. On weekends they do not need to be going at 8:00am, nor do they need to be going after around 6pm. These lights are unnecessarily impeding traffic on early and late times during the weekends, and in the evening on weekdays. They have made living along Long Lake absolutely miserable. Please feel free to call me at 248-709-7659 if you have any questions. We are so frustrated with these crazy lights we are considering moving out of Troy.

These two crossover signals both have flash (or night) schedules. The signals operate Monday to Friday, 6 am to 11 pm and Sat & Sun, 8 am to 10 pm. Crossover signals typically operate 24/7 and drivers can turn left on red. The signals are also kept operating to regulate the traffic that approaches the main intersection (in this case - Rochester & Long Lake). These signals are also coordinated with the main intersection to keep traffic moving. We will field check the intersections to make sure they are operating properly.

Totally agree - why do you have to drive 1/4 mile to turn left.

The red lights on Long Lake, between Livernois and Crooks are absolutely unnecessary. In a time when we should be looking to conserve fuel, we are burning more by the constant stop-an-go action of three (3) lights within a mile. Two of these lights should be flashing yellow all the time.

To the "Road Commission". I totally disagree that you need the turnaround lights just east and just west of Rochester Rd on Long Lake Rd., going from 6am to 11pm Mon-Fri, and from 8am-10pm Sat and Sun. This is CRAZY. You can go to church on a Sunday morning and get stopped by the red light at the turnaround just east of Rochester at 8:00am, when there is probably 1 car every 30-60 seconds coming through the turnaround. Same thing at 8-10pm on weekends. I go up and down these stretches several times almost every day and these lights are absolutely, positively impeding traffic. If I had to set the times I would have the lights at these turnarounds going Mon-Fri from 6am-9am and 3pm-7pm; and between these times it would be a blinking red for the turnaround traffic and blinking yellow for the Long Lake traffic. On the weekends they would be set to work from 10am-6pm; otherwise blinking red for turnaround traffic and blinking yellow for Long Lake traffic. Please, please, please won't you consider these times even just for a one or two month trial period. I have lived in Troy since 1992, and I presently work at the Timberland Office Complex on Crooks and Long Lake, and have worked there since 1990. It has never been worse trying to drive through Troy, and yet many of the office buildings around me are now only 1/2 or less full, so I know that traffic can't possibly be heavier now. If you could calculate the gas that is wasted by all motorists driving in Troy over the course of a month because of having to sit and idle at these turnaround lights during un-busy times of the day (i.e., when one or two cars might come through a turnaround while you are sitting at a red light there), it would be stunning. These lights are IMPEDING TRAFFIC, not managing it. I have three grown children who visit every week and I would not want to do anything that creates an unsafe condition for them as they use Long Lake to get to my house. But my kids and my neighbors all say the same thing: "what the heck is going on with these turnaround lights; what are they thinking!." I stand by my assertion that the road commission is actually impeding the flow of traffic with these lights. I urge you, for the love of God, please reconsider a trial period with the times I have suggested. If it would help to discuss this with me please don't hesitate to contact me by email. Thank you for your time and consideration of this important (but maddening) situation.

Fix timing or add a sign Open

Tower Drive And Crooks Road Troy, Michigan - Troy

Durning rush hour, you have work people leaving tower drive businesses. The Michigan left turn light turns green at the same time the right turn arrow does. People in the Michigan left believes this is there cue to just go not realizing the right turn arrow is green. This is going to cause an accident. Something should be done to fix this.

From I-696 to Square Lake I-75 is like driving on railroad tracks. L Brooks Patterson and Rick Snyder should be a shamed and embarrassed for visitors that come through this area. Fix the roads that need to be fixed rather than spending on any new projects such as round abouts!

Faded Turn Lane Markers Open

2882-2892 Rochester Rd N Troy, MI 48083, USA - Troy

When getting off I-75 North at Exit 67 Rochester Rd. there are three lanes of traffic turning right. The middle right turning lane is the most dangerous and I've almost gotten into a few accidents because of a few issues. 1. The painted dashed lines are so faded you can't tell which lane goes where. 2. Drivers in the far right lane sometimes realize it is a TURN RIGHT ONLY onto big beaver road and try changing left a lane without seeing if there is someone in the lane over. 3. many people disobey the NO TURN ON RED.

I've started getting off at 14 mile instead. At some point my luck will run out and ill get hit on the Rochester exit. Seems to me there's been complaints since 2010, the city is aware and intends to repair. BUT in the meantime if someone is hurt or damage occurs, they've opened themselves to a negligence claim- when one is aware of a danger and does nothing about it or takes a long time (for a simple fix), that is negligence.

Broke the sway bar on my new car on a pothole in turn lane in front of Athens today. Called it in to road commission as emergency. Entire road in front of Athens is a mess. Totally unsafe. They did block off the right lane for a week- doesn't look like anything was fixed. Tax dollars hard at work? Ill send the city the $500 bill or so for my sway bar- 1 inch that broke in half!!!

FOR QUICKEST RESPONSE, REPORT POTHOLES DIRECTLY TO RCOC

Beverly Hills, Mich. — The Road Commission for Oakland County (RCOC) asks residents and motorists to contact the agency directly to report potholes and other road safety issues.
"Several Websites now encourage motorists to post road safety concerns,” noted RCOC Managing Director Brent Bair. “However, these sites do not share these complaints directly with the road commission."

If pothole complaints are called or e-mailed directly to the Road Commission, they are addressed as expediently as possible. Residents can contact RCOC’s Department of Customer Service directly via phone (toll free) at 877-858-4804 or through the Road Commission’s Website, www.rcocweb.org (click on the “contact us” button).

The Department of Customer Services is staffed weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. The best way to report a non-emergency problem after hours is to file a report at the RCOC Website. For emergencies during non-business hours, contact the RCOC dispatch office at 248-858-4895.

"We take the safety of motorists seriously," Bair said. "The best way to have a concern addressed on the county road and bridge network is by directly contacting the Road Commission. When using alternate methods to report potholes, there is often an unnecessary delay leading to additional frustration and potential damage to
vehicles."

This important gateway to our city has been a mess for many years. Put politics aside and fix the road. This has gone on too long. Each side the county, state, and city all point the finger at the other as the culprit. My suggestion is just get the job done.

This entire intersection has been a mess for years. Last year Troy filled the potholes and smoothed it out a bit, but it is still a mess and deteriorating at an alarming rate each day. This entire section needs to be rebuilt. Filling potholes doesn't cut it anymore.
