LANgley and cooper pta are during school hours. They don’t even pretend to including working couples. It is only for stay at home spouses. Not only is this for rich people it is for rich people with one spouse that does not work.

You realize you’re slowing it down for the Virginia drivers behind the Maryland drivers? If you’re going to purposely slow down traffic don’t blame the slow moving, clogged roads on Maryland.

It’s everyone cutting through a road with residential area only to get to 66. It’s mainly non-Fairfax county residents. It takes 30 minutes for locals to go just 2 miles. It takes 20 minutes to make a left turn onto Blake Lane from any neighborhood street at that timeframe. It’s worse in the morning with commuters causing school buses and parents to be late as they make their way to the metro. People get off at 123 and head down Blake Lane to get to metro. A residential street has become a commuters short cut.

But, it’s nit Georgetown Pike - not loads of rich people - so we’ll see if vdot looks into it. Maybe they could just add lights at every intersection, so residents can get out of their streets.

Stop with the rich stuff. Anyone can initiate a traffic study with VDOT which is exactly what the GTPike residents did. This has been a two year study. I live off Old Dominion and my neighborhood has initiated three traffic studies over the years. One ended up in us getting speed bumps and a stop sign. Another study got us nothing. We have a third beginning for additional traffic calming measures. It’s a lengthy process and takes a lot of effort but VDOT will work with you. However, you have to assemble a traffic committee with your neighbors, garner signatures etc... it takes commitment. So put your whining about rich people away and get to work solving your problem!

But it's so much easier to just whine about rich people than to actually take any action of their own! So typical.

Hallelujah!

"But, but...I'm not rich....so YOU shouldn't be either!!! WAAAAAH!!! Not only that, I am going to break YOUR crayons!" Stomp. Stomp. Stomp.

Really? Try getting your MD people to help you out on your side. Sometimes people become successful because they work at it. Big concept, huh?

The first part seems jerky. The second part seems like a nice, neighborly thing to do.

Not the PP, but both parts are entirely appropriate. You've probably never been passed on a double yellow line road like the Pike by a crazy MD driver.

I’m sure driving 5 miles under the speed limit would curb that behavior. And the fact that driving the speed limit is an option tells me you have been exaggerating the congestion.

^^^^^Georgetown Pike runs 15+miles from Route 7 to the Beltway. The severe congestion is Georgetown Pike inside the Beltway and outside the Beltway about a 1-2 miles westward. I too have had MD cars pass me on upper ends of GTP near the windy and dangerous stretches. And closer in at the overpass, MD drivers regularly flip everyone off as they block through lanes. Even the VDOT engineer is quoted as saying he witnessed them jumping curbs and blowing lights. So while I enjoyed and laughed at your comment above, it also indicates that you obviously never use the Georgetown Pike and you are just trolling here.

Why does fairfax county bend over backward an for this crowd. Title one schools need resources. Not Langley.

Georgetown Pike runs less than 12 miles in total, and that includes several miles east of the Beltway. The attempt to demonize Maryland drivers to hide the fact that closing the 495 ramp would negatively effect other Virginia neighborhoods is getting stale.

You bought in Langley; deal with it.

Op here. We just got our bus schedule and our kids are the last stop in the morning and first stop in the afternoon. Pick up is 8:17 and school starts at 8:35. Hope the kids get to school on time daily.

What you fail to understand is that the MD drivers are solely responsible for the ramp being closed. The exact attitude you show in your post is the exact attitude shown when blocking the box. Such a simple thing to not block the box, yet MD drivers refuse. Because Langley. Really, it is obvious that MD drivers would not have such a difficult time reading street signs, were it another section of any other town. Yet, so clear why it is happening. Furthermore, without the ability to read, should one be driving at all? Thank you for proving those points.

Wait, you're claiming Maryland drivers are aggressive because they are driving through the Langley HS district? Bwahahahaha. If they are aggressive drivers, it's because they are from Maryland, and trying to return there. It's not all about you, as much as you think everything is.

We found a house in western great falls we loved and didn’t buy precisely because of its distance to cooper/Langley.

Got it. You are an a-hole, regardless. Point proved.
