Absolutely, 470 is a heavily traveled shoulderless rural 2 lane where many driving 70+.
Late passers often running people off the road with no shoulder.
Not unusual to be passed by someone doing 90+.
There were an average of three EMS/Fire respones a day. This has dropped to just a few a week.
Some incidents on the old design were serious/fatality centerline crossover accidents.
The difference in transit time from 470 at MBT to the Turnpike is less than 5 min at posted speed limit. And you can safely pass slow traffic since there are 4 Lanes.
Slow down and enjoy the ride.
