Citations Issued By MSP
One of the biggest complaints we have gotten from citizens, other than violations of physical distancing, has been drivers traveling at excessive speeds. The Metro North Post concentrated on those excessive drivers over the weekend.
The following citations were issued:
Speed: Along I 75 in northern Oakland County: 110mph/70mph, 83 in a construction zone, 100/70, 104/70, 95/70 and 102/70.
Along M59 drivers were cited for 104/70 and 101/70. Along the I-696 and I96 corridor speeds of 111/70 and 103/70.
It should also be noted that the dedicated traffic patrol recorded speeds of 107, 120, 106, 100, 116, 100, 100, 102, 110, 100, 100, 102, 110, 100, 111, 101, 100, 100, 100, 102, 109, 102, 117, and 100 across Oakland and Macomb Counties for the month of April.
We realize with the Stay at Home order that there is less traffic out on the roads. However, the same speed limits still apply. A crash at these speeds is usually deadly. We want you to be safe as we deal with this virus. We also want you to be safe on Michigan’s roadways
