"The Michigan Department of Transportation and county road commissions working with the Michigan Department of State Police, are authorized to establish modified speed limits Representatives from these agencies comprise a traffic survey team which consists of an engineer and a state police officer. They conduct studies and recommend speed limits on state and county roadways including those within cities and village." That came directly off of the Michigan.gov website under "establishing realistic speed limits". Does this apply to this road. Can i get a survey done to lower the speed limit. Something has to be done! People fly down this road! I will be contacting the road commission, state police and channel 2,4, and 7 news until something is done.

Our experience is that the State Police will not do agree to do a speed study on a gravel road. The State Police must sign off on any speed study. Therefore, without the approval of the State Police, nothing will happen. It was the State Police who led the effort that resulted in a change in how speed limits are established on gravel roads several years ago that resulted in the speed limit on most Oakland County gravel roads increasing.

Also, please remember that the law says that motorists must drive at a safe and reasonable speed for the conditions. If the cars are flying off the road, it would seem they are not driving at a safe and reasonable speed for the condition, and therefore could be ticketed under the existing speed limit.

Road Commission

I have left a message with Debbie at traffic services with the Michigan state police. Requesting a traffic survey. I will not drop this issue. I will stay at this every week until something is done.

Speed limit still to high.
