I have a bit of a rant here. I'm used to a Lansing commute. While it's 40 miles away and longer than my current commute to the People's Republic of Ann Arbor, it is actually quicker for me to get to Lansing than to Ann Arbor during that %#@!ing morning rush hour. Lansing's easy for the most part outside of the US-127/I-496 interchange. US-23 is a nightmare, especially around North Territorial.
I've never seen so many atrocious drivers in my life. I should not have to stop when there are no accidents or lane blockages. I shouldn't be going 20 miles per hour on the expressway. I almost got rear-ended today when I had to hit the brakes once again every 3 miles.
I'd like to borrow my dad's snowplow and push the lead slowpoke out of the way, but I can't do that sort of thing when I'm in law school. I will ask the slowpokes to go at least the speed limit when the weather isn't bad. That really isn't too much to ask.

Welcome to my world everyday of the week. And Keith is right, Friday afternoon northbound is absolutely terrible!
We don't need a million dollar "study" to tell us what we already know -- just a 3rd lane in each direction.

Why are semi trucks allowed to continue to go 70MPH when the posted speed for any vehicle 10,000 GVW and over is 55mph?
Perhaps we have a police official that could respond to this question.
All we here about every week is a major freeway is closed due to an overturned truck.
Why doesn’t our Gov enforce the law? Oh that’s right because she is in the unions back pocket.
Why are our roads such a mess? Oh because Michigan allows more weight per axle than any other state as the unions control what happens in Lansing.
