[quote=Anonymous]simply an asinine idea. it will only make local traffic worse. the problem is a result of over-development, suburban sprawl and poor master planning. pushing the traffic to the roads of the next neighborhood simply will not work, it will just spread the jams further into the local neighborhoods. the solution is not less access to the major arteries but more. widen the bridge, add a river crossing, etc. the beltway is the ONLY major artery heading to MD and its jammed BOTH WAYS. Limiting access to it cannot possibly help the people who use it and will not change the disaster that is Georgetown Pike. You know what will? Remove its designation as a "scenic byway" and add traffic lights and stop signs! Then improve the intersection at 495 so drivers cannot cheat the turn lanes. That is what exacerbates the issue the most. [/quote]
