“Like it’s a Highway”? It’s literally a State Highway!

Nah. It's literally a road that the Maryland State Highway Administration is responsible for. Like Bradley Lane between Wisconsin Avenue and Connecticut Avenue. Would you call that a highway? It has 2 lanes and a 25 mph speed limit.

My god, these are all numbered state highways. MD187. MD191. MD355. MD185.

Yes. They are in fact definitionally a “highway”.

LOL. Keep digging.

If you want to call Bradley Lane a highway, go ahead. Or if you want to call it an elephant, or an Erlenmeyer flask, or eclair, you can do that too.

You’re an idiot. Bradley Lane and Bradley Blvd is literally a numbered state highway. Im not calling it a highway, the state of Maryland is.

I think you’re just embarrassed for getting exposed and are trying to compensate for it.

The state of Maryland calls it a lane.

Because Bradley Blvd which is the numbered state Highway MD191 starts at MD355. You still remain an idiot.

No, Bradley Lane is also MD 191. Connecticut Avenue (MD 185) is the eastern end.

Okay. So it’s still a numbered state highway. What’s your point? That the state of Maryland does not consider it a “highway” because it has the name “lane”. You seem pretty dumb.

It's definitely a numbered state ROAD. Why do you keep saying it's a highway? Even the Maryland State Highway Administration calls Old Georgetown Road a road: https://roads.maryland.gov/mdotsha/pages/pressreleasedetails.aspx?newsId=4403&PageId=818 For example, "With approximately 40,000 vehicles per day use this road, drivers should plan extra commuting time during construction."

They also refer to I-95 as a “road”

I am not sure if you’re really this dumb or are just pretending, but Lanes, Boulevards, Avenues and Roads can all be state highways. Absolutely ridiculously moronic. Just the absolutely stupidest crap just to detract from admitting your ignorance on one thing.

You’re embarrassing yourself.

If we all agree with you that Old Georgetown Road is a state highway, what does that get you?

They need to do bike lanes that do not take away lanes for cars. It's not a zero-sum game, they need to add without taking away something

I drive "against" the rush hour flow each day and it is bumper to bumper the rush hour direction, even with work at home and hybrid work. So backed up. (I get on the beltway, and spouse goes up 270, so no we are not swapping out bikes)

Today there was an ambulance with its lights and sirens blaring en route to Suburban Hospital...stuck behind so many cars with nowhere to pull over.

Guess what, with 2 packed lanes southbound, and two pack lanes northbound, there was no where to move out of the way. Without a doubt there will be delays getting to the hospital. Are the cars supposed to ride over the posts into the bike lane? Or the ambulance? This is not a scenic bike route, but a commuter artery and emergency vehicle artery (e.g., fire stations and the B-CC rescue squad) hours each day.
I wonder how long until one needs to study the life and death impact of those two clogged lanes, on emergencies.

The J2 runs riigjt down old georgetown and runs every 8 minutes during rush hour. I take it every day so that I don’t burden the community with my car. It’s not a good commuting route — take public transit or divert to one of the many highways.
Those bike lanes are probably my favorite thing that local government has done in a decade. And I don’t even own a bike!

Nope. The J2 does not run to my office. Or my spouses. Or my son's school.
Nice try.

Do you SAH? Figures.

Yes they do. That is a commuter artery. Not a trail.

No— I commute by bus and metro, every day for over a decade. Too many people drive. We have great commuting options around here. If it’s too slow for you to drive through a residential neighborhood, look into carpooling, transit or moving. I have zero sympathy for the people who choose to sit in traffic every day. You have other options— you just choose your convenience over them.

Those sidewalks absolutely killed those boys. They are wildly unsafe. The bike lanes are great and where we should be moving as a community. And I’m not a bike rider!

Sounds like it's a public safety hazard to have so many cars blocking ambulances going to Suburban on Old Georgetown Road! The state should route the cars onto the adjacent Rockville Pike instead.

Your trip to/from work is miserable because you're driving your car on the same road as a bunch of other people driving their cars, all at the same time. And I'm sorry, because that really is miserable. Wouldn't it be great if some of those people going to/from work in cars, who are blocking your way, switched to bikes? I know some people who commute by bike to locations on Old Georgetown Road. If the bike lanes are good, there will be more. If the bike lanes aren't good, the state should make them good.

I drive to work and I find it very enjoyable. I am sorry that your life is so miserable. It is not the car that makes you miserable. You may want to see someone about that.

Lol. Yes I am sure there are many therapists who specialize in helping people who don’t like being in traffic learn to love soul crushing commutes
