M-188 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 986 vehicles in the city of Eaton Rapids, and 1,103 used the trunkline outside of town, traveled along the highway on average.[3] M-188 has not been listed on the National Highway System,[4] a network of roads important to the country's economy, defense, and mobility.[5]
History
M-188 was designated in late 1932, providing highway access to the VFW National Home from Eaton Rapids in southeast Eaton County.[6][7] In early 1941, the trunkline was completely paved;[8][9] and the highway has been unchanged since.[1]
