Rise in speeding drivers puts Macomb neighborhood children at risk, residents say
MACOMB TOWNSHIP, Mich. โ Since the coronavirus pandemic began, one Metro Detroit neighborhood saw a dramatic rise in speeding vehicles. Drivers have used the Macomb Township neighborhood as a way to cut through, putting children and families at risk. โBut this feels like a main road.โLocal 4 Defenders set up a radar gun and caught drivers going way over the speed limit in the neighborhood filled with children. Residents said the Macomb County Sheriffโs Office was asked to patrol the area, but all they did was put up a device to track a vehicleโs speed. Since the Defenders began looking into the problem, the Sheriffโs Office reinstated the radar trailer in the subdivision to gather more data from speeders.
