At the request of residents along the Central Park ring road, the Shelby Twp. Police Department (STPD) has been recently enforcing the 25 MPH speed limit, which according to Michigan law, applies to all streets within platted subdivisions unless posted otherwise.
The Central Park Master Association Board of Directors is currently studying the installation of "Stop" signs at selected intersections along the Central Park ring road, as well as a "Speed Limit 25" sign at each entrance to the Central Park development.
Please remember that unless you see a sign stating otherwise, 25 MPH is the speed limit on all residential streets in the Manors at Central Park, the other Central Park subdivisions and throughout the state of Michigan.
On a related note, be aware that the STPD is strictly enforcing the law regarding the use of Center Left Turn Lanes. Those lanes may only be used for left turns by traffic already on the road that contains the Center Left Turn Lane. The STPD is ticketing drivers who utilize the Center Left Turn Lane while completing a left turn from eastbound Central Park North onto northbound Van Dyke. According to the Michigan State Police Traffic Laws FAQs, "It is unlawful to use the center left turn lane for a right turn or as a merge lane when entering the roadway." See this sketch that shows a legal and illegal turn onto a road with a Center Left Turn Lane.
