so true.

i travel from gallows to tysons every day... typically with no traffic im there in like 5-10 minutes... in the morning im looking at 45min or so, and thats while being the asshole that rides the HOV and cuts in as the last second before 66. time-wise: thats nothing compared to other people, but its still just plain rediculous.

my theory behind traffic is: theres always some granny in the front holding everyone up. kill her, and were good.

I know whenever I see 66 from 495, it's congested all the way up to the ramp. 66 is crazy, worst traffic ever on that route.

I go down rt 7 from Ashburn to Tysons down 495 to rt50 every morning about 6am. Takes me 30 min. ..45 if I leave at 6:05..... Friday afternoons going home thru Tyson's sucks... damn malls.

But ya, I stayed with my boss in Stafford for a few weeks while I was looking for a place, and I have to say 95 sucks a big one. That was an hour and a half drive, even leaving at 5:15am... so ppl traveling north to work, I feel your pain
