Traffic flows pretty much unimpeded. The bottleneck north of Dupont is also not really much of an issue. The worst traffic at Calvert due to the left turn signal being a delayed one in a lane that can go south (straight) or east (left). A turning only lane, even if it is a short one, would help a lot.

One continuous issue on Connecticut and throughout the city is cars taking a right from the center lane. When there are pedestrians in the crosswalk, they block the rightmost traffic lane when they should pull into the right lane past parked cars to turn. It is just laziness that causes drivers to have to slow down on their commute.

What? That's just wrong on so many levels. For instance, Woodley Park ("the bottle neck north of Dupont") has the lowest level of traffic on all of Connecticut Ave.

Connecticut and Nebraska is one of the most congested intersections in the entire DMV during rush hour. It sucks.

One of the worst parts about the Internet is that you can just make stuff up and be wrong and anonymous.

According to DDOT's own numbers it's the most congested intersection, on the most congested stretch of one of the most heavily trafficed roads in the City. That intersection is so congested that even the neighboring side streets, like Albermarle, are now jam packed from people avoiding it.

Meanwhile you clearly don't live in the area and don't even know where the intersection is.

The congestion there is not solely related to the streetery but the streetery makes the intersection much worse and much less safe. The pandemic is over. Things are only going to get worse, especially if people start going back into the office on Mondays and Fridays.

The streetery has almost no impact...there is a right turn arrow that virtually all of the drivers use. The through traffic is already in the center and left lane. The streetery is in the right lane. Do the math.

Dear idiot: all the traffic is backed up all the way to hell in the center lane because anyone who's used this road on a prior morning understands that if they don't get over now, they never will.

Instead they'll be stuck in one place, contemplating the Kermit the Frog green Jersey barriers of Rosemary's in what should be the right lane of traffic.

The right turn lane is turning right, the center and left are going straight. This isn't hard.

Why are you opining on and spreading aggressively ignorant disinformation on something that you clearly know nothing about?

Not the prior poster, but DDOT has released several traffic studies of Conn Ave and every one of them showed that the outer lanes were ***FAR*** less utilized by drivers than the middle two lanes, because of the turning traffic or random parked cars that shouldn't be there but are constantly.

The eatery is not in a turn only lane. It's blocking a regular straight lane. And anyone who does want to turn right after the eatery has to move left and then move right again quickly after the eatery. This is a location heavily trafficked by school children walking to school and residents of the elder care home. Lots of lane changing right there, with limited vision heading up to it, is unnecessarily dangerous. For what purpose? Is a handful of extra seats at one restaurant really worth this risk?

Two lanes slow traffic more than three lanes, so the street with a streetery is actually better for little Timmy crossing it than one without it.

Except people then take side streets to avoid the backup caused by a private business squatting on public property.

Don't even bother with that person. They don't care about anything except punishing cars.

There's only three lanes now and two for that particular stretch because of the streetery. Besides all the lanes on Connecticut and Nebraska are bumper to bumper during rush hour and there are lots of turnoffs in all four directions.

It is a really bad location for this experiment and a perfect example of what will happen to the entire road if these plans to eliminate another lane go through.

Great, maybe people will drive less then.

You are not a serious person.

100% serious. In an urban area like this one, the amount of people and money funnelling into personal automobile usage is stupid.

A private business in a street is not the solution to your urban automobile problem. Seriously.

The “urbanists” and bike bros are fine with that because diverting major traffic to the side streets puts pressure on the SFH residents. They want to up zone and densify those streets anyway.

It’s such a bad take that I wonder if they are really a frustrated car driver making fun.

Could be. Could also be a random troll just trying to stir things up. But most indicators point to a recent transplant Navy Yard Bike Bros.

I don't know but DDOT put up one of those big traffic signs to indicate the lane is closed.

It makes the situation even worse for Eddie Cano but slightly ameliorates the major safety problem.

That sign isn't about the lane on Conn Ave. It's about Albemarle being closed east of Conn Ave due.

No, there's been a sign up about the lane closed by the shanty ever since it was erected. The Albemarle sign was added there recently.

Navy Yard Bike Bros are both too young to be on this forum and, as transplants, unlikely to have heard of it, and finally, probably think this portion of the city is in Maryland.

One of the worst parts about the Internet is that you can just make stuff up and be wrong and anonymous.

According to DDOT's own numbers it's the most congested intersection, on the most congested stretch of one of the most heavily trafficed roads in the City. That intersection is so congested that even the neighboring side streets, like Albermarle, are now jam packed from people avoiding it.

Meanwhile you clearly don't live in the area and don't even know where the intersection is.

The congestion there is not solely related to the streetery but the streetery makes the intersection much worse and much less safe. The pandemic is over. Things are only going to get worse, especially if people start going back into the office on Mondays and Fridays.

The streetery has almost no impact...there is a right turn arrow that virtually all of the drivers use. The through traffic is already in the center and left lane. The streetery is in the right lane. Do the math.

Dear idiot: all the traffic is backed up all the way to hell in the center lane because anyone who's used this road on a prior morning understands that if they don't get over now, they never will.

Instead they'll be stuck in one place, contemplating the Kermit the Frog green Jersey barriers of Rosemary's in what should be the right lane of traffic.

The right turn lane is turning right, the center and left are going straight. This isn't hard.

Why are you opining on and spreading aggressively ignorant disinformation on something that you clearly know nothing about?

Not the prior poster, but DDOT has released several traffic studies of Conn Ave and every one of them showed that the outer lanes were ***FAR*** less utilized by drivers than the middle two lanes, because of the turning traffic or random parked cars that shouldn't be there but are constantly.

The eatery is not in a turn only lane. It's blocking a regular straight lane. And anyone who does want to turn right after the eatery has to move left and then move right again quickly after the eatery. This is a location heavily trafficked by school children walking to school and residents of the elder care home. Lots of lane changing right there, with limited vision heading up to it, is unnecessarily dangerous. For what purpose? Is a handful of extra seats at one restaurant really worth this risk?

Two lanes slow traffic more than three lanes, so the street with a streetery is actually better for little Timmy crossing it than one without it.

Except people then take side streets to avoid the backup caused by a private business squatting on public property.

Don't even bother with that person. They don't care about anything except punishing cars.

It’s such a bad take that I wonder if they are really a frustrated car driver making fun.

Could be. Could also be a random troll just trying to stir things up. But most indicators point to a recent transplant Navy Yard Bike Bros.

Navy Yard Bike Bros are both too young to be on this forum and, as transplants, unlikely to have heard of it, and finally, probably think this portion of the city is in Maryland.

Time flies, some of them are in their 30's now. The bike bros reddit crowd regularly encourages people to post on these threads. That poster has already shown that they don't know anything about this portion of the city.

Traffic flows pretty much unimpeded. The bottleneck north of Dupont is also not really much of an issue. The worst traffic at Calvert due to the left turn signal being a delayed one in a lane that can go south (straight) or east (left). A turning only lane, even if it is a short one, would help a lot.

One continuous issue on Connecticut and throughout the city is cars taking a right from the center lane. When there are pedestrians in the crosswalk, they block the rightmost traffic lane when they should pull into the right lane past parked cars to turn. It is just laziness that causes drivers to have to slow down on their commute.

Silly poster, they take side streets anyway.

Put up more rush hour no-turn and no-thru restrictions to keep the traffic off the side streets and on Connecticut Avenue where it belongs.

The whole point of a grid street design is to allow pouricity of traffic flow. Adding restrictions simply turns the arterials into car sewers.

the private business has a legal permit, so it isn't "squatting"
