I live in this are and there are signs posted on DEYHILL, ORCHID, and COVERT that state there are NO u-turns, DO NOT ENTER Covert from Watkins Lake Road, and no left turn off of Deyhill or Orchid/no right turn onto Deyhill and Orchid from Watkins Lake Road.
I personally witness dozens and dozens of cars doing this daily. I understand the police don't have the resources to sit on Watkins Lake Road all day and write tickets, but people are taking advantage of this and it needs to stop. We have seen a Waterford PD officer on occasion, and he never sits for more than 4 minutes before pulling someone over.

This is a stupid prohibition designed to appease a neighborhood fears about traffic. The problem is that people want to turn left and there is a dumb sign that says they can't for no REAL reason.
Take down the signs.

This has been a MAJOR disruption to the flow of traffic. Now Pontiac Lk Rd is always backed up, and this is the road children use to walk to school and cross the road to get to school.
There's NO good reason for me to NOT be able to turn left onto Watkins. instead I have to drive through a school zone and 3 busy intersections placing me at a higher risk of a possible collision before I can reach Watkins to get to Baybrook.
I live on M-59, should I petition to have my section of road closed off because the traffic is too heavy and puts my children at risk?
(It was only 2 lanes when I moved in, now there's 5)
OPEN THE ROADS SO THE TAXPAYERS WHO PAID FOR THEM AND THEIR UPKEEP CAN USE THEM.

But it seems to NOT be a place that Waterford Police or Oakland County Sheriffs patrol much anymore.
Too bad, the county/township need the money.
It will become a speedway again, soon!

At the very least, if they're going to keep those signs posted, then there no longer needs to be a STOP sign for those on Watkins. That section should just be considered a curve thus smoothing out the flow of traffic and reducing "back-ups" and the cry babies of the neighborhood can STOP and wait to enter onto Watkins.

I watch people do this ALL THE TIME!
My favorite one, just last week I watched in my rear-view mirror the UPS truck drive straight into the neighborhood on southbound Watkins Lake, right over the little "island" and past the :Do Not Enter" sign.
Oh yea, this was right after he almost ran into me because I STOPPED at the stop sign before I turned left.
Jerks!

The signs should be removed and taxpayers should be able to use their roads, like any other roads.

Most of the people who have commented must not have lived in the area for very long.. Traffic going through these neighborhoods was continuously heavy, with vehicles driving 40 and above to eventually get to Dixie Hwy. If you lived in the area during this time, you are thank-ful for how the Road Commission reacted. Believe me, they do not make these changes unless it was a hazard to drive on these NEIGHBORHOOD Streets.
