Michigan Hands-Free Law

Effective June 30th, 2023, a new bill was signed into law making it illegal to hold and use a mobile electronic device while operating a motor vehicle. The bill amends Michigan law to make it illegal to “use a mobile electronic device to do any task, including, but not limited to” the following:

Send or receive a telephone call
Send, receive or read a text message
View, record or transmit a video
Access, read or post to a social networking site

The law makes holding or using a cell phone while driving a primary offense -- meaning an officer could pull someone over and ticket them for this offense. A first offense violation could include $100 fine and/or 16 hours of community service.

Food Truck Rally at the Market

The food truck rally happens every month at the Royal Oak Farmers Market. Enjoy more than eight food trucks, face painting, balloon art, crafts table for the children, and local vendors selling their homemade items.

Please visit Facebook at Royal Oak Farmers Market for more information and the list of food trucks attending.

Listen Up, Royal Oak!

The new City Commission chamber offers an assistive listening solution that delivers clarity to those struggling to hear in a big room that can at times be crowded. The device (shown in the photo) is easy to use.

If you are interested in trying one, please call the Human Resources Department at 248-246-3070 in advance of any meeting you are planning to attend. We’ll be happy to have a listening device ready and waiting for you!

Residential Lock Boxes Available at the Fire Department

The Royal Oak Fire Department’s residential lockbox program is designed to get quick access to adults living in their own homes during medical emergencies -- especially senior citizens. When every second counts, the lockbox -- which contains a key to your home -- reduces the likelihood of property damage caused by first responders forcing entry into your home in response to an emergency call.
