I have grown up in this area, I was around when Summit Place Mall was thriving and full of stores and traffic. Not long ago a stop sign appears for both directions on Summit Drive near the "Target" store, Now let me ask all of you who travel this road regularly, Why was this sign put up long after the mall became 99% vacant? The only reason I can see is so the Police who sit in the mall's empty lot can pull people over vehicles that disregard that sign or simply don't see it (I ran it on a daily basis for 2 weeks when it went up, it was in such an odd spot I'd forget about it). Now, I'm not some person who is angry I got pulled over due to that sign, fact is I have NEVER been pulled over because of this sign but I feel sorry for those that have, the sign just has no REAL reason to be there, I have never seen a safety issue in that spot. That sign should be taken down.

This is valid now that Summit Mall is now vacant except for Sears. It (somewhat) made sense when JCPenney was still open.
But now that I think of it, in that same area, the 'No Left Turn' signs coming out of the Target parking lot are pretty much unneccessary too, now that JCPenney is closed too. Guess I need to open that topic!

Those are private roads. You'll have to take this issue up with the mall owners.

The stop signs are silly and yes, you can be literally rear ended by others who either don't see them or refuse to stop for them. Alot of travel through this area to get to an empty mall

Most folks don't know that Summit Drive is a PRIVATE road, owned and maintained by the Summit property owners. Haven't you ever noticed that Oakland County doesn't plow/maintain the road? and police shouldn't be there unless the owners have asked them to patrol/watch private property, which in these distressed times is unlikely that the township would spare them - anyway, a good defense in court
so if you're unhappy with any of the signs on Summit, contact the property owners and lodge a complaint/suggestion.
