Interstate I-96 near Livernois Avenue

Detroit, MichiganOct 12, 20050 Comments

Almost all of I-96 EB past Telegraph is a construction zone w/ speed limit 45. After you pass Davison Ave on EB I-96, you’ll go through a slight curve, cross W. Chicago, and then right under the Livernois overpass there is a Mich. State Cop parked in the dark. Livernois is a big road, so the overpass is quite wide, meaning that the cop sits in a large shadow of darkness, and its very difficult to spot the cop. Once you’ve discerned him, it’s too late. This is a very bad speed trap, since fines are doubled, and extra points are added. I got 70/45, but it sounds worse than it actually was. The average flow of traffic in this part of the freeway is still about 65 mph, despite the 45 mph limit.
Enforcement varies from month to month – In Aug/Sept, I saw MSP cops all over this part of the freeway, but now in Oct. I seldom see any cops around here.
