I recently read that Michigan Department of Transportation officials are considering a Waterford traffic signal or other safety measure at the intersection of Hospital Road and M-59, also known as Highland Road.
MDOT is conducting a traffic study of the intersection. Although a previous traffic study indicated there was no need for a traffic signal, officials cited increased traffic and a number of recent accidents as reasons that may warrant a signal. A dozen accidents have occurred at this intersection during 2008, including Robert Schaupp's fatal accident in October, a fatal motorcycle accident also in October, and Agnes Dregely's fatal car accident in March.
