Maybe they should fix the traffic signals on Belleville Rd then? Literally stays green for three seconds and you hit nearly every single light. It’s ridiculous. Takes ten minutes to travel from the i94 bridge up to speedway because of those lights. Fix them.
Agreed. Driving from my house on the service drive up to speedway I’ll literally get a red light each light. It’s getting out of hand to where people are running lights. This wasn’t this bad last year. They changed how long the lights stay green on Belleville Rd.
It’s out of control across Metro Detroit—but the word “speeding” doesn’t do it justice. The issue is not people going 5-10 mph over but still staying the same general speed as everyone else, it’s those who put the pedal to the floor and weave in and out of traffic. That’s more common than ever.
