No!

 

Vote Please

 

I used to, but after this last Toll increase my wife and I both use LCP to Waxpool to 28 to the Toll Rd..

 

not anymore, too expensive

 

I voted no - because it's just too expensive!!!

 

A couple of other options would be nice
* sometimes depending on the time of day
* Yes - Mornings only
* Yes - Afternoon only
Personally I'm using Waxpool more now that the 28 interchanges are done - be nice if they could get the stupid light at Innovation drive closed and if the airport hadnt screwed up the on ramp to the Toll Road.

 

Unfortunately, I usually have to take the Greenway in the afternoons and evenings. The exit to 28 is always backed up and I would be late picking my son up up from daycare if I went this way. It would easily add 25 minutes or more to our trip. Sometimes we take it in the morning as well if Waxpool is backed up.

 

I use it only in the mornings since I have to be in Silver Spring by 8AM and don't like leaving before 6:45. I can usually make it to the beltway pretty quickly that early, so it's worth the money to me. However in the afternoons I bite the bullet and take either Georgetown Pike or I66 to Rte 50 to come home.

 

Thank God I don't have to commute anywhere in this area anymore! I wake up in the morning sometimes before dark, look out at the traffic already racing along the tollway, and give a silent thanks before crawling back into bed.

Flynnibus, try this route sometimes. Come up Farmwell/Waxpool and instead of coming all the way through the extra stop lights to Claiborne, take a left onto Ashburn Road and then a right onto Waxpool into Broadlands.

You save the extra stop lights and 4-way at Broadlands Blvd/Claiborne. There is never traffic on that part of Ashburn Rd and Waxpool, and you avoid the loooooong 4-ways on Waxpool. Good luck!

 

the poll should have a one way only or sometimes pick- yes or no doesn't answer it for us...

 

I just wanted to get a general idea how many actually use it.
Using it one way is still considered yes.
After everyone has voted (when votes slow down), I will make a new poll for specifics.

Thanks

 

Car dad - you gave away the secret..........

 

AND if they ever finish paving Broadlands Blvd. going toward St. Theresa's church - there's another shortcut into our development.

 

I use the toll road because to me, it is so convenient. Otherwise it would be a hassle. So I voted Yes.

 

Yes, I do use it, but it is WAY crowded now.

 

I've reduced my usage ever since the Sterling Blvd overpass opened. Unfortunately, if pressed for time coming westward, I take it because you just never know how backed up the toll and 28 at Innovation Dr will be.
