There are very few residences along the road, to the point where you can sometimes go a quarter of a mile without passing a single house. Yet the speed limit is 25 for the entire portion. It needs to be raised to something like 40.http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/257410.aspxWed, 24 Sep 2008 18:29:37 GMT85480579-cbb1-4596-8e66-ca77d6981342:257410Anonymous Citizen0http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/257410.aspxhttp://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=20&PostID=257410Why should I have to be late for something just because you want to live a slow boring life?http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/257399.aspxWed, 24 Sep 2008 18:28:04 GMT85480579-cbb1-4596-8e66-ca77d6981342:257399Anonymous Citizen0http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/257399.aspxhttp://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=20&PostID=257399Books.

In the leftmost lane you could travel 20mph hour over general speed limit, without getting a ticket. If the cop stops for alledged speeding, and you demonstrate a valid permit, you are let go, and the cop would have to have to try some other driver instead. This would greatly reduce cops trying to milk money from safe drivers, since the majority of the stops would be fruitless, putting more focus on dangerous driving habits rather than absolute speed. As additional safety: getting into an accident wether own or others fault, would cancel your eligibility for 20mph over permit for the next 3 years.http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/257418.aspxThu, 27 Mar 2008 22:02:27 GMT85480579-cbb1-4596-8e66-ca77d6981342:257418Anonymous Citizen0http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/257418.aspxhttp://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=20&PostID=25741855 is the max your allowed to go within conditions, not the set speed limit! i go 40 down nearly every dirt road i drive on.http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/257417.aspxMon, 10 Mar 2008 13:17:54 GMT85480579-cbb1-4596-8e66-ca77d6981342:257417Anonymous Citizen0http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/257417.aspxhttp://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=20&PostID=257417I don't think that the speed limit on Snell Road should be 25 mph. What it does it sets up situations where vehicles pass other vehicles making it even more hazardous than the 55 mph speed limit. I don't believe 55 is a safe speed limit, but 25 is ridiculous-- this isn't a heavily traveled road at all. They need to make the speed 40 mph which I believe most drivers feel safe driving. Most of the time, you can't even get up to 40 because of the awful road conditions, i.e. potholes, washboard effect, ice that stayed on the road for 2 months, etc. The people that live along Snell have Stoney Creek Metro Park directly across the road for access to beautiful walking trails. Why would anyone want to walk along a road when they could take a walk in the park? All the 25 mph speed limit is good for is putting money in the pocket of the police department. They sit and wait for you on Snell road, when they could be spending time watching for people driving crazy on really busy streets! Until they can look at this objectively, they need to keep the speed limit at 55mph.http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/257415.aspxWed, 25 Jul 2007 02:45:56 GMT85480579-cbb1-4596-8e66-ca77d6981342:257415Anonymous Citizen0http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/257415.aspxhttp://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=20&PostID=257415When we moved several years ago to the gravel road we now live on the speed limit was posted 25 mph to this day it is posted 25 mph. And since the law was changed and people can drive up to 55 mph or to road conditions it has turned into a nightmare it can be pouring down rain and they are driving as fast as they can they will pass you if you are not driving fast enough for them even in the curves they do not slow down. When you are trying to ride your bike or go for a walk. In a short span of our gravel road we have four houses that all have children that live in them, four in one home, six in another, three children in another, and we have two. Where do we go for a walk or ride our bikes without the fear of being run over by a speeding car or truck it happens all the time and they do not slow down, when we moved here the speed limit was 25 mph it should stay that way that was another reason we moved on this gravel road it was and still is posted 25 mph. And I know they are not going to anything about the signs until something happens with the bill again.http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/257414.aspxTue, 24 Jul 2007 13:51:18 GMT85480579-cbb1-4596-8e66-ca77d6981342:257414Anonymous Citizen0http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/257414.aspxhttp://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=20&PostID=257414The example is given above of a gravel county road with curves, that might prevent drivers from seeing pedestrians and horse riders. This is a good example of why raising the legal speed limit can improve traffic safety. In the case of limited sight distance over a hill or around a curve, the appropriate safety remedy is a yellow "advisory" speed sign showing a recommended speed of 25 mph or some other reduced number. If the whole road is posted at an unrealistically-low 25 mph, it is no longer possible to post a 25-mph advisory sign at the site of a real hazard. Too-low speed limits convey the message that all traffic signs can be ignored. Any driver who has been driving for a few decades will have safely ignored hundreds of thousands of meaningless speed-limit signs. What good will it do to post another meaningless sign, after most drivers have experienced a half million repetitions of the message that all speed limits are too low by 10 or 20 mph?http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/257413.aspxSat, 21 Jul 2007 13:34:54 GMT85480579-cbb1-4596-8e66-ca77d6981342:257413Anonymous Citizen0http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/257413.aspxhttp://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=20&PostID=257413I am not sure how many people live on Snell Road, but our dirt road is not very wide and it has curves, and people like to take walks and ride horses and our speed limit has been posted as 25 mph for over 10 years, it needs to stay at 25 mph because speeds up to 55 mph is to fast for our road and people lack commen sense when driving they do not know how to drive to the condition of the road.http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/257412.aspxFri, 13 Jul 2007 02:36:30 GMT85480579-cbb1-4596-8e66-ca77d6981342:257412ldewael0http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/257412.aspxhttp://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=20&PostID=257412i have driven on snell roads for 30 years -- 25mph does not make any sense -- why are we the only county which needs to be exempt from the new lawhttp://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/257411.aspxSun, 08 Jul 2007 03:32:19 GMT85480579-cbb1-4596-8e66-ca77d6981342:257411Anonymous Citizen0http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/257411.aspxhttp://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=20&PostID=257411We like to walk our dog or ride our bikes or horses, but now that this bill 117 is tied up it is walk at your own risk, drivers are supposed to drive to the road conditions (rain, snow etc) but they drive like they are on I 75 and very few slow down when you are walking some dirt roads you have no where to go but the ditch to get out of the way of a seeding car. We drive 25 mph and they try to pass you. They need to keep the speed limit at 25 mph on gravel roads we have moved out here for many reasons and the speed limit was 25 mph when we moved here in 1993. 55 mph is to fast on a gravel road.http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/257409.aspxSun, 01 Jul 2007 09:50:43 GMT85480579-cbb1-4596-8e66-ca77d6981342:257409Anonymous Citizen0http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/257409.aspxhttp://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=20&PostID=257409Why should oakland county be the only ones to enjoy the freedom of setting speed limits for the roads in their community.THIS IS CRAP CRAP CRAP!!!!!http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/257402.aspxThu, 07 Jun 2007 23:20:20 GMT85480579-cbb1-4596-8e66-ca77d6981342:257402Anonymous Citizen0http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/257402.aspxhttp://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=20&PostID=257402ALL VEHICLES on your road have to go? 25? 20? remember, the speed limit ALSO APPLIES TO police cars and ambulances. even though they seldom pay any attention to it until they wreck.
