why is the speed up to 50, cass is mainly a redidental area, nothwind sub, normandy sub and othes hava a hard time getting out of there subs.
another reason, going 50 west bound and suddenly you slam on the brakes at the roundabout which the speed limit is "15" who hires these road comm. personal.

This issue is still not resolved.

Last night, driving East on Cass at Heidenreich the light "snapped" to RED just as we approached the intersection. Jam those brakes on! There were no cars on Heidenreich waiting to proceed through the green light. After 10 to 12 seconds approximately, the Cass through-light turned GREEN for just one second to just barely let the ONE car (my car) go through, then, it promptly turned RED again.

How do you like that?!

Now, Road Commission, answer why does Heidenreich traffic get priority? Heidenreich is NOT a main thoroughfare road. Cass is a main thoroughfare road! Road Commission, please fix this problem.

northwinds sub, west bound traffic
normandy forest sub, east bound traffic
the curve on cass ave by the lutz school, with traffic being @50 plus
these two subs only have about 2 to 3 seconds to decide if its safe
to make a left turn onto cass.
i say either slow traffic to about 35 or put tarffic lights up @ both subs,
the round-a-bout makes it worst,

I TOTALLY AGREE. COME ON MACOMB COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF ROADS, GET THIS FIXED SOON.

I'm the Original Poster on this:

The Intersection of Cass & Heydenriech seemed to allow for the main road (CASS) practical passage, last time I tried driving through there - has anyone else noticed?

Thankfully, I don't need to travel through that area at night very often, anymore.

Maybe I just got lucky - and the traffic light is still uselessly biased toward Heydenreich?

Did I spell it right (Heydenreich)?

I travel that stretch of Cass every night at midnight coming home from work. I get stopped at that intersection on w/b Cass EVERY night, whether there is traffic on Heydenreich or not. I agree it's fine during the day, but dangerous and unnecessary at night.

Sly,

I heard a rumor that the Macomb County Road Commission reviews this website. What a great idea!

So far It's just a rumor, because this has been up here for quite a while. It can't really cost very much to push a little button and make any Main Road get the green light by default.

So, we may conclude that the Road Commission is asleep at the wheel. Possibly brain dead and flat-lining as well.

The problem appears to be fixed. For the past week or so, the lights for Cass stay green unless and car is approaching on Heydenreich. Thanks to whomever at the Dept of Roads fixed this.

The problem has been resolved.

Maybe it's better, but I think a 50 MPH road trumps a slower residential street (even if it's a cut-through, such as Heidenriech).

Last week I travelled through there in the evening and, yes, one car was approaching the light from Heidenriech. The car didn't even stop and WHAM! the Cass light jumped to red. I was partly hanging out into the intersection because it went red so fast. I don't run red lights.

So the issue isn't totally over, but maybe they closed it anyway. It might be a bit improved, but the light needs a much, much longer YELLOW caution phase.
