[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another data point exemplifying why I am so grateful we spent extra money to live in a walkable neighborhood.

I can't even imagine the daily hell of having to involve the beltway in our child getting to school - what an awful way to live.

The issue isn't using the beltway to get our kids to school.  It's trying to use our [b]local roads[/b] and finding them backed up due to MD drivers using them as access to the Beltway.  Big difference.

For Langley this is only an issue inside the beltway, not outside it. The MD drivers are going a different direction than the buses from school to outer beltway suburban neighborhoods.[/quote]

Not true! The real problem is the 2+mile back up of cars - mostly Maryland severs - coming from the west and traveling EB on Georgetown  Pike to the NB ramp.  It gets backed up to Spring Hill Road now and competes with incoming traffic from Drivers using Swinks Mill Rd to get to
The ramp.   And when there is an accident on GTP - almost weekly now - it shuts down the GTP further backing up the Beltway because no
One can exit off until the road is cleared.   [/quote]
