[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I chuckle when my friends in AU park brag on one hand about their proximity and urban like grid pattern streets and then talk out the other side of their mouths about all the people cutting through their neighborhood on those grid streets to get downtown. What did they think would happen? That’s why  cul-de-sacs cost more right? [/quote]

Through-traffic commuters are a menace.  They dangerously speed through residential neighborhoods like they were on a highway.[/quote]

Or a through street, which they are. Not my fault you live on peoples way to work and conveniently so.  Don’t worry all those no turns during rush hour will be  100% obeyed…. Or it will just keep a few cars out of the area making it more enticing and open for the cut though drivers to make up time.[/quote]

Through street or not, you need to observe traffic laws and a huge number of commuters like yourself (you probably included) aren't.  That alone justifies a crackdown.[/quote]

I’ll gladly pay a couple hundred dollars a year in photo tickets or citations for the sweet sweet satisfaction of blasting to work in an M5, hell parking costs way more and it is all just the price of doing business. It’s like the express lanes on 495, pay a little bit and go a bunch faster. Besides I can’t remember the last time I got pulled over by a DC cop. Even when I did years ago those lazy no-nothings would just say sorry sir and to slow down. Last time was on western in chevy chase after rolling through a couple of stop signs and all he wanted to do was tell me how many important people he had caught and let go with warnings.  I actually go a stop sign camera ticket once in AU park a few years ago but haven’t seen one of those since. But at the end of the day one has to drive though someone’s neighborhood to get to Georgetown hospital, why not pick the empty roads with the self righteous people? It sort of makes my day to turn on the sport exhaust and get people all huffy and puffy. [/quote]
