• 3 Michigan roads rank among most passive aggressive. Here's why (freep.com subscription) — Drivers on Route 1 through Guilford and Madison are singled out in a new national survey for especially passive-aggressive habits, from blocking side streets to ignoring turn signals. The report compares shoreline traffic there with other tense corridors nationwide, highlighting how everyday discourtesy and congestion can quietly raise local stress levels behind the wheel.    

• Connecticut officials issue safety reminders for 2026 Motorcycle Awareness Month (wtnh.com) — Recent fatal motorcycle crashes in Madison and Windsor are part of a troubling rise in rider deaths across Connecticut, prompting fresh safety reminders from state transportation officials and police.
