Royal Oak is a suburb in Oakland County, about 50 km north-east of the airport and some 20 km north of downtown Detroit. The typical route follows Interstate 94 east towards Detroit and then Interstate 75 north through the city's east side before leaving the freeway at 11 Mile Road towards the centre of Royal Oak. An alternative runs north on I-275 and east on I-696. None of these freeways is tolled, but both routes can be slow during weekday rush hours.
Downtown Royal Oak is a walkable district of restaurants, bars and shops around Main Street and 11 Mile Road, with the Royal Oak Music Theatre and the farmers market close by. The Detroit Zoo lies on the southern edge of the city near Woodward Avenue and I-696, and the hospital campus on 13 Mile Road is a few kilometres north. Neighbouring Ferndale and Berkley continue the residential streets southwards, and Birmingham and Troy are a short drive further north.
Public transport: The airport's public transport services (SMART FAST Michigan and local SMART routes) do not reach Royal Oak directly, so the trip by public bus requires a change, for example in downtown Detroit to a SMART route on Woodward Avenue.
