A lot of people realize that the freeway is 55, but this is a very tough area to do any type of enforcement, due to the fact that the shoulders are very small and very narrow,” Michigan State Police Lt. Mike Shaw.

Troopers will be out on Southfield all day today, and Shaw says that they won’t be cutting to many breaks today, so if someone is pulled over, they’re probably going to get a ticket.
