Redford, Michigan Speed Traps
Telegraph Road near Interstate 96
Tallest point in the county is the Telegraph bridge over the expressway. They sit in the hotel parking lot (right side)and laser up the hill. Position of the car determines line of site.
State Highway 96 near East of Telegraph
Without any additional traffic on the roadway, no cross traffic, no weather inhibitors. A 5+ mph ticket is rediculous. The damage done to a driver’s record and insurance rate is more than the profit to the city for the ticket. Unless there are more than one type of issue at hand the officers should use more judgement in favor of the driver. A warning would have been sufficient but 2 points plus a big $$ increase in insurance cost after 42 years of driving without a moving violation.
