8/15/14 - A new traffic signal aims to help ease congestion on a busy road in Lyon Township. The Road Commission for Oakland County is footing the $140,000 bill for the traffic signal, which will be installed at the intersection of 10 Mile and Griswold before the end of the year. 10 Mile is a busy road with the majority of motorists traveling around 55mph, making it difficult for merging traffic. The road commission will also be installing another signal at 10 Mile at Napier, although that wonât be fully operational until a paving project on Napier is complete in 2016/2017 according to the South Lyon Herald. A flashing signal will be put up in the meantime though this fall. Traffic volumes and patterns along with crash data necessitated both signals. Meanwhile, Lyon Township is continuing work with local and state officials to come up with a larger plan to ease travel and tackle congestion on 10 Mile Road but the traffic signal is the main focus this fall.
