People say that it is not that hard to get around in Detroit, by yourself, if you're not a local. The 6 major streets which radiate from downtown are: Fort Street, Michigan Avenue, Grand River Avenue, Woodward Avenue, Gratiot Avenue, and Jefferson Avenue, and if you keep this in mind, as a tourist, you will not encounter any problems in finding your way around, by car, bike or even by foot.
Woodward Avenue runs northwest/southeast, dividing the northern half on the city into east and west, making West Warren Street to become East Warren Street, when it crosses Woodward. In the downtown area, most of the streets are one-way streets, diagonally arranged, which makes it even easier for `foreigners` to get around in Detroit.
The Detroit Department of Transportation, commonly known as DDOT, offers mass transit bus service within the city, providing 17 routes, including downtown at Griswold and Shelby streets. The buses are very easy to spot due to the fact that all of them are yellow and green.
The best way to get around in the downtown area, which is also the main choice of tourists, when it comes to sightseeing in Detroit, is considered to be the People Mover, a fully automated, elevated rail system that offers a round trip excursion, with 13 stations, taking visitors through the most beautiful areas in the city, including the favorite tourist downtown landmarks.
