Hi,
I'm not sure that this is correct, as far as I can tell, "Jeffries Local Lanes" and "Jefferies Express Lanes" are not actually the name of the highway and appear to be tagging for the renderer. Can you clarify if the highway is actually named that or not?

This one is difficult question. Locals all still refer to it as the Jeffries Freeway (which was its official name until 2005 when it the legislature blessed the name of Rosa Parks Memorial Freeway). But BGS in Detroit removed all mention of the names about 20 years ago. Signs now just say I-96 Express / I-96 Local, but the planning document I sited says "Jeffries Express" and "Jeffries Local".
Personally, after reconsideration I think the word "Lanes" is superfluous since and should go. What do you suggest?

The big key is that it never was signed as the "Edward J. Jeffries Freeway" just the "Jeffries Freeway"

Yeah, that's a tough one. I would agree with removing "Lanes", and since there are official documents, then Express and Local are fine
