Um, we are returning from MD at the time of potential shutdown, not going.

From 1 to 7? When do you leave to pick them up?

Exactly. Families never go pick up kids after school or go to sports practice in the afternoon?

How about we ban Virginia drivers in Maryland who insist on never going 1 mile above the posted speed limit?

As a Marylander, we highly value every mile on the road where there isn't traffic, and we like to take advantage of it by going at least 10+ miles over the speed limit and do not appreciate being blocked by a goody two-shoes Virginian going the posted speed limit. WAZE knows where the speed cameras are. So get out the way or go back to Virginia, slowpokes.

And that folks, is exactly how the off ramp closure happened. Speeding through any neighborhood is never a good idea; add state politician residents, and the issue goes hardcore.

Residents have lived in that area for years, and have tons of resources and ways to get things done, commutes notwithstanding. Don't you worry about how.

Way to deflect. If Marylanders didn't think they were so above the law, it obviously would not have come to this. Nice job, idiot. You should probably stop talking now.

Keep guessing. No one is going to list to proper avenues, that is for sure.

I have a brilliant idea. How about the Marylanders find a job in Maryland? Or move to Virginia so they are not driving like mindless idiots (theres a challenge for you).

Clearly Marylanders have no interest in that. They just elected Marc Elrich.

Well then - when in Rome, do as the Romans.
