the dreaded, horrible Brandywine bottleneck on Rt 301

[Anonymous]

Those of who drive from to and to southern Maryland every day....what can we do about the the dreaded, horrible Brandywine bottleneck on Rt 301 (the area where the Target/Costco, Chick fil a is)? Does a bypass need to be built?

DH uses 210, but that bottleneck is awful all day, every day. I think it's the shopping centers, lights, and people coming on and off the road. A bypass would help, but I also don't think PG and Charles Counties ever thought these roads would carry the sheer volume of traffic they carry every day. If they do a bypass, I'd almost make it a straight shot from the beltway to Waldorf with no exits.

(OP) Yes its the lights for the shopping centers. I have been told that the shopping centers are less than 15 years old or so, the county (PG, not Charles, since the intersections are in PG county) had to know back then the effect they would cause on traffic. but maybe it didn't matter to them since we who live in Charles or St Mary's counties are the ones affected?

Since it’s a state highway, SHA would have jurisdiction and not PG County.

I’ve heard of Waldorf before. But I’d never dream of going there. It sounds absolutely dreadful and depressing. I couldn’t imagine why anyone would live in such a place.

Waldorf is 60% Black. It’s great that people openly show how racist they are.

This is OP I actually do not live far from my job but the bottleneck is still a pain. On another note the intersection area I am talking about is in Brandywine in far south PG county just outside of the Waldorf line (but really yes they do in some way blend together)

Where did I say anything about race? I said it sounds dreadful and depressing. Miles of strip malls and stoplights, backed by soulless neighborhoods of cheaply made faux-luxury homes. So depressing.

You’re not as smart as you think you are trumpie.

A place that you’ve never been, that’s majority Black is “dreadful” and “depressing”. Sorry but you’ve prejudged the area and when you combine prejudice with race, that’s definitionally racism. It’s clear you play a mental gymnastics game with yourself to justify your racism and I guess it helps your psyche to just assume that everyone else is worse than you are. But no, you’re pretty racist.
