Description
At night, you are barely into the intersection before the light changes from green to yellow to red. The speed limit is 50, why? You just have to stop suddenly - maybe the speed should be 35, then we don't need to stop for a red light with nobody there on Heidenriech. During the day, it's OK (more traffic). The camera sensors at that intersection are too tightly tuned, I think. Too fussy at night. Please adjust soon, before the weather get cold and roads get slippery at night. Slow down that traffic light!

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.

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'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)?

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.

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.
