[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Road diet." If the public actually wanted this, they wouldn't have to come up with an Orwellian euphemism to describe it. "Road diets" in DC mean lots and lots of bike lanes than no one uses and worse congestion for modes of transportation that people actually use. [/quote] Outer NOVA is very different than VA. Roads are lots of multiple lane roads that double as highways. I just moved from DC to Springfield a year ago and kinda hate some of the roads that are like double lane highways for no good reason. Fairfax county parkway is awful; the turn for my kids' elementary school is right off of it (with nearly all of the 'in bounds' population and busses having to cross it/turn to get to the school, and there have been horrible accidents right at the intersection. I feel like an accident is reported nearly every week at some intersection nearby on Keene Mill Road. Road diets can be about safety and not necessarily just about bike lanes. [/quote]
