## How Oakland County Moves: Highways, Commutes & Freight

                

A driver's-eye reference to the interstates, US highways, commute corridors, and freight infrastructure that define how Novi gets where it's going.

            

                        
                        
                                    

### Freight, Inland Port & Airport Traffic

            
                        

                Add **Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW)** to the picture. It is the region's primary commercial airport, and the drive in from Novi is a short hop.
            

            
            
                        
                        

                All figures sourced from state DOT traffic counts, the state Department of Public Safety fact book, the regional ports authority, and the local airport district — refreshed as new annual reports drop. Live conditions, accidents, and lane closures are above; this section explains the system those incidents move through.

## Novi School Traffic & Zone Safety

				

School zone speed limits, pickup/dropoff schedules, bus route alerts, and safety tips for Oakland parents and commuters

			

			
			
			
			
				
					
						
						
						
					
					

### School Zone Speed Limits

					

South Carolina law requires drivers to reduce speed to the posted school zone limit during designated hours. Fines are doubled in active school zones. Watch for flashing beacon signals near all Novi schools.

				
				
					
						
						
						
					
					

### Pickup & Dropoff Hours

					

Peak school traffic: **6:30–8:30 AM** and **2:00–4:00 PM** on school days. Allow extra commute time during these hours. Obey no parking and no stopping signs near school entrances.

				
				
					
						
						
						
					
					

### School Bus Safety

					

SC law requires all vehicles to stop for school buses with extended stop signs and flashing red lights. Passing a stopped school bus carries fines up to $1,000 and potential license suspension. Children should wait in a safe place away from traffic.

				
				
					
						
						
						
					
					

### Back-to-School Alerts

					

Each August, traffic patterns shift across Oakland as 9 school districts resume classes. Watch for new traffic patterns, construction near schools, and increased pedestrian activity at intersections.
