I-75 mile marker 209

West Branch, MichiganApr 14, 20101 Comments

MM 209 features a turnaround that has been manned by a state cop now going on 15 years. The FREEP did a story on him that far back as he wrote more tickets than any cop in the state. At the time 5,000/yr. He nails people north then turns around and does it south. It used to be he never strayed much beyond mm’s 200-220. You now can get nailed anywhere between mm 190-230. And the county mounties finally figured it out a few years back and they are now in on it. Finally, the state and county guys do a sting every so often using the rest stop at north I-75 mm 211. I passed them one time and counted 7 cars lined up behind a large movable sign erected just to hide them while another “spotter” was down the road apiece.

This is a definite winter hot spot. Generally Sunday afternoon, two state's and a county will be between 220 and 215 getting all the southbound traffic. Verified 8 times between 12/2009 and 3/2010.
