9 Mile Road near Beck Road

Novi, MichiganSep 26, 20080 Comments

Speed limit on 9 Mile Road is 30mph, which is unusual for a main east-west "mile road". When a motorist turns off Beck Road onto 9 Mile Road, it is reasonable to assume that the speed limit on 9 Mile Road will be the same as the speed limit on Beck Road, 45 mph. The 30mph sign becomes visable after a higher rate of speed is attained. An unmarked police car with radar is positioned facing west to catch vehicles accelerating after turning onto 9 Mile Road. A speed limit sign should be closer to the intersection in order to inform drivers before they surpass the 30 mph limit. It should be noted that the speeding tickets issued at this location are routinely reclassified upon payment, so as to keep points off the driver’s record. This clearly demonstrates that the low speed limit at this location is a moneymaker for the City of Novi, and not actually a public safety issue.
