Northern Virginia Traffic Madness....
I go from Burke to Reston 4 days a week in the morning and it's a pain once we're in Reston. The backroads are packed as well as the parkway. On the way there I always pass GMU and the cops have a field day of tickets every single day of the week on that road.
Last two years I went to school in Alexandria and once we got near the exit for telegraph road (getting near the drawbridge) there would be traffic that NEVER moved.
I haven't been through either at rush hour though.. that's got to be the worst.

there are a few ways to go:
1.) Rt. 605 to Rt. 28 and come in Wellington the back way (8 extra miles and doesn't save any time) - sucks
2.) Rt. 29 (lee highway) all the way to Litton Hall and take litton hall to the cut over to wellington - sucks
3.) Take Rt. 600 at New Baltimore to 55E to 66E - sucks but actually is the fastes way now
4.) Take 29 to Rt. 15N to 66E - really sucks
so what is your way?

Yup, I live less than 7 miles from work and it takes me 30-45 minutes everyday. But you all think we got it bad, this past summer I was in Bangkok, Thailand and it took us an Hour to move less than a mile is some places, so I'm kinda thankful.

Lets all just take a nice long minute and thank all of our NO TAX Republicans who have screwed us ALL!
Im actually a conservative but the republicans in VA are getting to be rediculous! There is NO help in sight for NOVAs traffic problems because the state has NO money! I hate taxes as much as any one else but w/o them the state has no money for roads and other very important things
