Move away.
It’ll change your life. :)
Oh but the 495 paid lanes were going to fix everything. Without more bridges, nothing will fix the problem.
Sure is. VA Dems increased tax revenue while providing ZERO solutions to a problem.
Park and rides. The ones I drive by are, at most, 30% full.
The Left so loves pushing Mass Transit on us, and making it as hard as possible to drive by yourself. . .
$40 tolls?! Good Lord. And I thought the $4.25 toll for single drivers to use the HOV lane here in Houston was highway robbery.
F’em...Glad I retired just before the EZ pass went into effect. Its all about Gov control and run by the northerners who have moved in and screwed up northern Va.
So, according to this statistic we are draining the swamp at the rate of 2,000 per day. That is over 1/2 million per year. A couple of years and it will be back to pre 9/11 levels [when the Bush Cheney crony capitalism lead to rapid inflation of the idiocracy in DC]. Keep up the good work.
The real problem is there are only 2 lanes each way on I-66 in Arlington County.
Back approx. 1960 when the highway was being built, Arlington refused to allow 6 lanes on I-66, which is why the overall highway footprint doesn’t change at the Fairfax line but the lanes go from 3 to 2 each way. When I learned about this, the only thing that astonished me was that Arlington County has been stupid for longer than I thought.
Meanwhile, I’m all for the Hotlanes — saved my butt when I was late for a meeting out at Tysons one Friday afternoon: was very worth the fee.
That said, HOV lanes suck. Change ‘em all to tolls and be done with the special privileges for hybrids and extra passengers.
