Georgetown Pike needs to be dualized

Add another set of lanes and overpasses.

Agreed. I think 193 is the most dangerous road in FFX County due to the road ragerz and entitled lead foots that drive on it. The worst road hands down.

This will never ever happen for obvious reasons

That will probably happen around the time a bridge linking Loudoun and Montgomery Counties is built.

Drove it this morning, it wasn't bad. The worst are the drivers who insist on going the speed limit when they could go faster. Also, the letting people in at Swinks Mill should be curtailed. It backs up too many on G'Town Pike. And don't get me started on the light at River Bend.

I avoid that road to the maximum extent possible. It is such a mess and having a HS right off it just makes things worse.

I figure once they finish widening Rt.7, it'll take some of the G'Town Pike traffic.

Or possibly increase it - people will take Route 7 rather than the Toll Road and then get on Route 193 if 7 is clogged.

I don’t live near Georgetown Pike but my kids seem to have a few friends who do. I drive the speed limit because I don’t know the area well and have to look at the signs so I know when to turn. The locals who ride my tail stress me out.Sorry for driving safely in your neighborhood!

Can you name a single instance where adding more lanes alleviated traffic?

You're an absolute idiot, and probably the reason I hear sirens so often.

WTF. Speed limits are not discretionary.

Unlike another PP, I know the area well, having driven it almost every day for 15 years. The straight part between Great Falls Park and Rt. 7 (minus The Village) should be 45 MPH. If there are no other cars, that's how fast I (and most other normal drivers) go.
