They, of course, are nuts. This plan goes into effect and grinds I-95/et al to a halt violence in this region can be expected on a scale not seen since the Civil War.
Actually, the legislation was passed at the behest of Western states, such as Texas and Colorado, who wanted it. The members of Congress who live in NoVA mostly live in the McClean area and close-in Arlington, and they will be screwed by this too, because they depend on the nightmare that is 66, Arlington Blvd. or the Parkway to get into DC, and then have to drive across town. There is no “quick ride” to Capitol Hill from anywhere in the area unless you live there. Driving through town is impossible, and if you’re in Virginia, you have to come across the congested bridges and to make it even uglier, they are doing upkeep on the 14th St. Bridge until next May. Forget about going to the Hill from Maryland in any sane way other than Metro. I fully expect to get on the Beltway someday and get stuck in apocalyptic gridlock.
