At most times this area is bumper to bumper | with terrible stop and go traffic; but most of the time it's the only one mile | stretch of the Southfield Freeway that opens up to fast and free driving. | I've seen some of the worst accidents on my way to work and back. | Photographing while driving should be discouraged.
