The city also prioritizes pedestrian safety, with designated crosswalks and signals to ensure the safe passage of pedestrians, and thus drivers should always give right of way to pedestrians.
  • Pontiac features the morning rush hour between 7 am and 9 am on weekdays, as people head to work and students go to schools and colleges. During this period, major roads, including Woodward Avenue, M-59, and I-75, experience an increase in traffic volume, resulting in slower speeds and longer travel times. The evening rush hour begins around 4:30 pm and lasts until 6:30 pm. As commuters once again flood the roads as they return home, leading to traffic congestion.

I liked nothing. One thing could've been better though...How about having a car available when a customer shows up with a reservation and a confirmation number. Yeah..that part could've been better for sure.
