Transportation
COUNTY: Livingston
HIGHWAY: M-36 at Pettysville Road
CLOSEST CITY: Brighton
START DATE: Thursday, Jan. 28, 2010
TRAFFIC RESTRICTIONS: Starting Thursday, Jan. 28, the temporary traffic signal at the M-36 and Pettysville Road intersection will return to a traditional stop-n-go mode. The signal has been in flash mode since early January while a signal study was being conducted.
PROJECT: The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has conducted a signal study to see if the intersection meets required federal warrants for a permanent signal. The current reactivation is a temporary condition until the final results of the study are determined later this spring. The signal only can be left in place if the study confirms that federal warrants are met. If the current study indicates a permanent signal is not warranted, MDOT will collect additional traffic counts during peak travel times in late May or early June prior to a final determination being made.
MDOT installed the signal at M-36 and Pettysville Road as a temporary measure last summer while Pettysville Road was used as the detour route during construction at M-36 and Pettys Road.
MDOT says: Remember - in Ice and Snow, Take it Slow!
