M-36 is a

D-19
. According to traffic surveys in 2010, between 650 and 15,300 vehicles used the highway on average each day.

The current highway to bear the M-36 moniker is the second to do so. The first was signposted in 1919 north of Pontiac until it was partially replaced by the modern M-24 in 1926. The M-36 designation was moved to the current roadway in 1930. It has been changed a few times since the highway was completely paved in 1940. The last change created the M-52 concurrency in 1969.

Route description

M-36 starts at an interchange with US 127 northwest of Mason. The highway follows Cedar Street southeast and southerly from exit 66 through commercial and residential areas to Ash Street near downtown. M-36 turns eastward along Ash Street through downtown. Outside of the city, Ash Street becomes Dansville Road 1⁄2 mile (0.80 km) north of

community of the same name and turns southeasterly toward Gregory.[4][5]

M-36 in Hamburg, facing east

North of town, M-36 turns south on Gregory Road. The highway continues as Main Street in the community to Carr Street; the highway turns back eastward on Carr Street in Gregory. As the highway runs easterly, it skirts the northern edge of the

9 Mile Road at exit 54 on US 23 in Whitmore Lake.[4][5]

M-36 is maintained by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) like other state highways in Michigan. As a part of these maintenance responsibilities, the department tracks the volume of traffic that uses the roadways under its jurisdiction. These volumes are expressed using a metric called annual average daily traffic, which is a statistical calculation of the average daily number of vehicles on a segment of roadway. MDOT's surveys in 2010 showed that the highest traffic levels along M-36 were the 15,226 vehicles daily in Mason; the lowest count was 657 vehicles per day east of the M-52 concurrency.[6] No section of M-36 has been listed on the National Highway System,[7] a network of roads important to the country's economy, defense, and mobility.[8]

History

Original designation

On July 1, 1919, M-36 was routed along what is now

Burnside.[9] In November 1926, this highway was redesignated as part of M-24 between Pontiac and Lapeer.[10][11] In 1930, the remainder was turned back to local control and removed from the state highway system.[2][3]

Current designation

M-36 supplanted the former

Bus. US 127/M-36[14][15] This concurrency was removed in 1962 when the Bus. US 127 designation was decommissioned.[16][17] The M-52 concurrency was formed in 1969 when M-52 was extended northerly to Webberville.[18][19]
