I-275 Northbound Expressway near Pennsylvania Road

Romulus, MichiganJun 01, 20081 Comments

Office will be on the Pennsylvania Road overpass, usually in a white, unmarked SUV. He has a radar gun and will be aiming it on oncoming, northbound traffic. I have seen up to 6 police cars sitting on the side of the road, usually under the Eureka Road overpass, waiting for the radio call to pull over speeders.

The police vehicles are not easily seen until it is too late. Most of the police vehicles are unmarked, or "ghost" marked Dodge Chargers.

Comments:
Like most rural freeways in Michigan, this area should be posted at 80 mph to match the normal 85th percentile speeds of 78-83 mph on good rural freeways. The State Police and MDOT are legally prohibited from posting the safest 85th percentile speed limits because of our arbitrary statutory limit of 70 mph, a limit that is not valid from a traffic safety engineering viewpoint.
