Distance, open roads and small-town visibility

Highways and regional travel

Interstate 94 runs through or near Genesee. Subjects in a mobile surveillance often leave town on these routes, so plans account for highway speeds, exits and where the work could cross into another jurisdiction. The same routes matter for locates: people who move frequently tend to follow them.
