Fact...
The statutory width of Michigan's road right of way is 33 feet, or two rods (16.5 feet times two), on either side of the road's centerline. Report: New Statewide Billboard Calls for Action
The Michigan Transportation Team (MTT) says now is the time for the public to call on legislators to fix the pothole in state transportation funding. Billboards will soon be displayed statewide as part of a media campaign to draw attention to Michigan's transportation funding crisis. The message on the billboards says: "Tired of Bad Roads? Call Your Legislator." The photos behind the words are traffic congestion and potholes.

An important component regarding the success of the Drive MI team is a
continuing emphasis on grassroots efforts. We constantly encourage our members
and anyone interested in improving the Michigan transportation system to
contact both their state legislators and local media outlets.
Mail, telephone calls, faxes and e-mail communications are effective and efficient ways to contact both legislative offices and media outlets. Drive MI believes that the more voices that are demanding attention on this issue, the better chance there is of improving our transportation infrastructure across the state.
