The other day I was at 22 Mile and Schoenherr as fire trucks were trying to turn north on Schoenherr from east bound 22 Mile. At least 15 cars past all of us stopped in the right lanes to go through the green light. The last car just missed being hit. People!!! Turn down the radio, and put down your phones, and pay attention! When you see cars stopping at a green light there is probably a reason.

Hopefully the firefighters will be ok. I've always wondered though...they've installed these so-called "intelligent" lights that are "supposed" to gauge traffic flow & adjust accordingly. Why can't these lights also adjust to emergency vehicles coming to an intersection. Surely there must be some way to have all sides turn to red when an emergency vehicle approaches?

That's a good idea macombresident. I've seen people not pull aside for ambulances many times. I think this society is about "me" and to hell with anyone else. What happen to the old days when cop cars used to lead or follw ambulances? Man, if I was Chief of police here, I could save and make Shelby Twp. $$$$. Instead of doing patrols, have the cars sitting (save gas money, and cop car milage) at corners hidden, like 23 & Schoenherr, 23 & VD, 26 & VD. Everyday I see cars running obvious red lights that are about 2-3 seconds turned, these are the new delayed lights. Tons of tickets can be made at these intersections (make revenue). every couple of hours go to another intersection and lie low.

I'd like to think (hope) that people aren't pulling aside simply because they're not hearing the sirens and not due to a conscious choice to say the hell with it. Cars today seem to be much quieter, have more soundproofing, than years ago...for that "quiet ride" we've seen on the commercials. That has a downside, namely people don't hear the sirens.
