It's the Potomac folks who live farther down River Road that get hit - there's always a long line of cars backed up trying to get through the Falls/River intersection at the Village. But that doesn't affect us at Avenel.
Have to disagree. We live in close-in Bethesda. When our kids attended Norwood years ago, it was a crawl out River Road to the school (same intersection as one can turn down to go to Avenel).
I'm the PP. I'm surprised to hear this. Very often leaving Avenel I make that right turn at Bradley onto River during rush hour. It can be congested, but honestly, I've rarely experienced it as a crawl. That part of River close to the Beltway moves along. Also, isn't there an entrance to Norwood off Bradley?
Are you talking about coming down Bradley from Bethesda to River? That, I imagine, would be backed up.
