Downtown Detroit Driver by marsha morningstar
WXYZ-ABC Detroit reports that Michigan ranks as the 8th worst state to drive in:
The study looked at all states to see which were the most driver-friendly, and compared them across 31 key metrics, ranging from rush-hour traffic congestion to road quality and average gas prices.
Michigan came in 43rd, just behind Missouri and ahead of Colorado.
The state ranked 20th in share of rush-hour congestion, 19th in traffic fatality rates and car theft rate, 26th in road quality and 39th in auto maintenance costs.
Marsha took this back in 2014 in downtown Detroit and would like you to help explain how this happens at a 25 mph speed limit. Head over to her Flickr for the latest!

Yep – I worked in Downtown Detroit for three decades, but I took the bus from the suburbs. Walking and driving in Downtown Detroit is not for the faint of heart.

Definitely want to have your wits about you. I rode my bike a lot and defense is key to winning!

And now you have to contend with the QLine schedule as well – they weren’t there when I last worked downtown, but there was the trolley cars on Washington Boulevard back in the day (maybe late 70s/early 80s).

Indeed! The Q line is scary because it’s almost totally silent!
