8/6/2023 0 Comments Michigan mdot traffic counts![]() If people are confused by a simple cloverleaf interchange, imagine trying to squeeze in yet another ramp into this already rather complex interchange! Second, the phrase "confusing many out of town travelers as well as locals" has no citation. There are enough people who fail to understand the basic cloverleaf design of this interchange, which is personally alarming, as cloverleaves have been an intregral part of highway design for 70 years. ![]() Mind you, while a ramp to facilitate a connection from westbound M-6 to 68th St would benefit me greatly, I'm glad it was omitted. A flaw is a mistake or problem, whereas this one movement (of sixteen possible movements) was purposely omitted due to safety and confusion considerations. When traveling east on MI-6 the US-131 S exit shows a clearly marked ramp to 68th St.įirst, it's not a "major" flaw-it's not a "flaw" at all. exit and you have to get back on US-131 going north to access 68th St. Going west on the highway there is no way to get onto 68th St. *A major exit ramp flaw exists on the highway, confusing many out of town travelers as well as locals. I removed the following point for several reasons: Mihsfbstadium 10:35, 2 April 2007 (UTC) Reply Various Edits: May 26, 2008 Its quite bad to see 100k cars in a day on 4 to 6 total lanes of traffic. But in anycase I am quite please to see this reduction of traffic. In anycase I would like to see in a few years what the actual numbers look like but after Chicago Dr Exit gets completed in the next few years on 196 I expect to see 96 and 196 underconstruction. I dont remember the numbers but it too was signifacant. Speaking of M11 that one has seen some nice reduction as well. With some further research I am sure to see that local road 44th street (1.5 miles north of M6 and 2 miles south of M11/28th street) is cut down by half. With just some quick math I believe its down 10% as well. First 96 before the split with 196 no longer has the 105k car limit. In anycase looking at I96 and I196 I found some interesting info. The higher counts are near 131 with the ends getting closer to 25 to 30k. These numbers are from the 2005 counts and the 2006 should be out sometime in the future. According to thier info M6 is handeling anywheres from 25k to 45k vehicles in spots. Highways Agency, and the Denmark Road Authority.I was curios as to the amount of traffic M6 has been diverting and well I found some info on mdot.
