M-96 is a largely urban highway between Kalamazoo and Marshall. Its termini are both on business loops of I-94, the eastern one also coinciding with an intersection with I-69. Between Kalamazoo and Marshall it passes through Comstock, Galesburg, Augusta, and Battle Creek intersecting I-194/M-66 in Battle Creek and I-94 near Ceresco.

Throughout its route, most of M-96 follows the path of the old US 12, which was decommissioned after the completion of I-94 in southwestern Michigan. All of M-96 is surface road, little of it divided.

Some parts of it lie within 40 miles of I-96, which could cause confusion.
