[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a fan of DOGE, but got pulled over in my own neighborhood this morning for driving down a road that says do not enter 6a-930a and I’m pissed. Apparently there is no local exclusion (aren’t these signs intended to prevent cut throughs?!) and this police officer has nothing better to do than pull over residents trying to drive to their own house. He was actually sitting there waiting for someone to drive down the road. If our police officers have nothing better to do, I fail to see why we need to raise taxes. There’s clearly plenty of places to trim the fat.[/quote]

So you broke the law, got a ticket and that's why kids in Sudan should starve to death?[/quote]

Keep up. We’re talking about how MoCo should be spending taxpayer money as the county exec proposes an increase. Someone said we should DOGE MoCo and MCPS. I said I’m not a fan of DOGE but clearly there’s inefficiency if police officers have nothing better to do than harass residents for the crime of driving through their own neighborhoods. Those access restrictions are intended for people trying to cut through neighborhoods during rush hour not for people who live in the neighborhood and applying them in any other way is what’s called predatory policing.

Agreed 100%.

Montgomery County has a bunch of unnecessary rush hour turn restrictions, even to turn on arterial roads. What’s the purpose of having arterial roads if drivers can’t use them?! Maybe you wouldn’t have so much cut through traffic in these neighborhoods if Montgomery County updated its road grid to account for 2025 traffic. Instead we’re all driving around on roads that were made for rush hour traffic of 30 years ago. [/quote]

And it’s just perfect representation of how idiotic Montgomery County leadership is that one of the major road expansion projects in the past years was to build a bypass in Brookville in an area where no one even lives. How about expanding the grid close to the Beltway or anywhere - here’s a bright idea - where more people live?[/quote]
