Only if you're coming from NJ/NY/PA (the north). We don't toll people coming from MD/VA (the west), because they are kindred Delmarva spirits.CAA Flagship wrote:....and tolls.93henfan wrote:Notice how where all these idiots go on weekends (DE and MD beaches) is not mentioned as a top bottleneck?
That's because we know how to deal with traffic here. We just don't build giant highways. You want to come here? Two lane roads, motherfuckers! Deal.

I guess that expansion of 404 I rode on last night was a figment of my imagination? And the Route 1 mega-expansion never happened.93henfan wrote:Notice how where all these idiots go on weekends (DE and MD beaches) is not mentioned as a top bottleneck?

Because I live one exit up 270. I could also do ICC to 29.andy7171 wrote:Why not 29 to 70?89Hen wrote: B'more beltway (west side at least) is always at a dead stop when I've driven it. If I have to go to the Towson area I almost always go 270 to 70.

Got a head on collision smashin' in my guts, man,
I'm caught in a cross fire that I don't understand.
But there's one thing I know for sure, I don't give a damn...
Did they add a bike lane?CAA Flagship wrote:And after compliance with the ridiculous MD environmental regulations, the project will cost $20 billion.
Man, that's gotta be rough crossing the Bay Bridge six times a year. I don't know how you do it.89Hen wrote:BTW, I've changed my mind. MD has the worst road anywhere at a specific time/day. 50 from bridge to Queenstown on a Sunday. Eff me. 7 mile back up last night coming home from the beach.

Only a 7 mile backup? It's not unusual to see 20-30 mile backups coming into the Twin Cities on a Sunday. Everyone is coming back from lake country. Leaving town late afternoon on a Friday can see stop and to traffic for 50 miles, slow downs for over 100 miles. When Minnesota widens a road, it's for a bike lane.89Hen wrote:BTW, I've changed my mind. MD has the worst road anywhere at a specific time/day. 50 from bridge to Queenstown on a Sunday.

Truck flipped across the median on 50 two Thursdays ago between St Margaret's and Bridge
Fatal wrong way head on in the morning on 50 at Baydale a couple months back
Fatal wrong way head on in afternoon with girl from Salisbury at 50 and 2 after she left Wawa.
Yeah no. I beat you every week.
I actually told Mrs89 that I may have to reconsider going to the beach ever again. It's just a sucky way to end the weekend. Sussex County would be bankrupt.93henfan wrote:Good move. It's not worth it. Tell all your friends at the country club!
This. 95 needs another lane or 3, and the Rappahannock needs another bridge. Maybe Hogan wouldn't mind sending some MD tax $$$ our way...89Hen wrote:That would be reserved for I-95 in Fredericksburg, VA.Gil Dobie wrote:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/tr ... 66710de4b3Congratulations, Washington-area drivers. You can now claim the worst traffic “hot spot” in the country — a stretch of Interstate 95 in Northern Virginia that averages a whopping 23 traffic jams a day, according to a new study released Wednesday.
Motorists heading south on I-95 between the Fairfax County Parkway and Exit 133 in Fredericksburg lose an average 33 minutes in backups that leave brake lights stretching an average 6.5 miles, according to the report by INRIX, a Kirkland, Wash.-based traffic data firm.
If congestion doesn’t improve over the next decade, the researchers said, that stretch of I-95 will cost local motorists $2.3 billion in wasted time, lost fuel and additional carbon emissions. Nationwide, continued traffic congestion could cost drivers $2.2 trillion over the next decade, the study found.

Since when has property within walk/bike distance of VRE/Metro ever been “affordable”?Northern Virginia’s roads won’t see relief, Schwartz said, until the region’s growth plans insist on more affordable housing closer to jobs and transit options.
