[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't have a dog in this fight and try to avoid both VA and MD as much as possible and don't think I've even once driven on the Georgetown Pike but people who've chosen to live in the suburbs and drive everywhere who are surprised at congestion getting mad at other people who live in the suburbs and drive everywhere who are trying to avoid congestion telling other folks that they can't do the very thing they want to do is just laughable.

Several posters on this thread have referenced how short the distances they need to cover are and how long it takes them - how about instead of kvetching about your fellow drivers on here you change the way in which people in your community get around so everyone isn't driving for short trips that might better be done on foot or bike or public transit or whatever.  Because closing the ramp is only going to temporarily move the problem to another street.

The Maryland drivers at least don't have any choice but to do these trips in a car - all of these local high school trips are less excusable than the people commuting to work.[/quote]

As you said, you don’t have a dog in this fight.  In other words, this situation doesn’t affect you.  It would really be best if you didn’t bother chiming in when you have no idea what you’re talking about.  After all, I wouldn’t dream of lecturing you on the way in which you choose to live or commute.  That you actually think families along GTP and it’s feeder roads could walk, bike, or use public transit (???) to get to their local public schools only proves your ignorance of the entire location.  No one can go anywhere without a car [b]in this area.[/b][/quote]

You mean the Langley HS neighborhoods, right?  There are plenty of other areas in NoVa that are more walkable and aren't so car-dependent. [/quote]
