Billboards Will Warn Drivers Near These 7 Dangerous MI Intersections

MICHIGAN — A Michigan law firm is using billboards to launch a public safety campaign warning drivers who are approaching dangerous intersections.

Michigan Auto Law in Farmington Hills will place billboards with awareness and cautionary messages near seven of the state's most dangerous intersections to warn drivers as they approach the intersections. The billboards are expected to stay up through Labor Day.

"By placing these billboards as motorists’ approach critical intersections, we hope to alert drivers and encourage them to pay a little more attention. Hopefully, they will make safer choices behind the wheel, or even choose a different route," President of Michigan Auto Law Steven Gursten said.

Six of the seven intersections where the firm is placing billboards are in metro Detroit, including:

• 11 Mile Rd / I-696 at Van Dyke Ave (Warren/Center Line)
• Schoolcraft Rd at Telegraph Rd (Redford)
• Martin Parkway at North Pontiac Trail Roundabout (Commerce Township)
• 18 ½ Mile Rd at Van Dyke Ave (Sterling Heights)
• Telegraph Rd at 12 Mile Rd (Southfield)
• 10 Mile Rd at 1-94 (St. Clair Shores)
• US 131 at Wealthy Street (Grand Rapids)

The auto firm annually ranks the most dangerous intersections in Michigan. All seven intersections getting billboards were ranked in the top ten in last year's list.
