Those are some of the first below-grade expressways built in the country, so the shorter on ramps are from an era with fewer and slower cars, and there isn't space to lengthen them. The law only changed to stop the insurance companies from using zip codes to determine rates, and reduced the maximum payout for healthcare related costs from a crash, with the aim of lowering costs, but of course the insurance companies worked around it.
Insurance is required in all of Michigan, with fines, license suspension, and jail all possible for not having it. With Michigan's no-fault insurance we have some of the highest rates in the country in Detroit—especially relative to income—and almost no viable alternative to owning a car.
That said, as a native Detroiter I feel safer in Detroit driving around other Detroiters, the suburbanites and out of state folks are always in the way.
Sometimes I increment my cruise control down a mph at a time to see how much I can get them to slow down
Is this the start of "relevant Sesame Street" replacing "relevant XKCD"?

ShotSpotter installs can be repurposed to locate homes of negligent owners who are annoying the entire neighborhood by letting their dogs bark unmitigated.
And mostly scripted ads at that? I never really watch them either, but they don't feel like the spontaneous conversations they appear to be, just scripted ads and rehearsed bits

That's what I thought. My Christian parents went from anti-Hillary voters in 2016 to pro-Trump voters in 2020.
I do both freelance graphic design and historic window restoration on the side. I did them both before my current full time design job, and do them in my spare time. I'm lucky that my current job considers 32 hours full time, so I have Fridays to do side work.
When to dead head or leave for the birds
How do y'all decide the balance between dead heading for more blooms or letting flowers go to seed for the benefit of local birds?
