Waxpool was closed Thurs. Nov 6 @ 6pm

There are kids along that section of waxpool so be careful

For some crazy reason and perhaps I am wrong but I get the feeling that the ones that want it raised the most perhaps got a ticket there. Just look at some of the horrible stories told here and that should be enough to keep the speed limit to where it is. Hey we are going from suburban to urban at the speed of light and many of those projects have been already approved. What is not going to be approved much anymore are the broadland style PUDs.

So as we get more of the urban centers built we will get more day time traffic. Besides a better idea to vent your frustrations is to get the greenway and dulles toll road to become free no tolls then we would not have near as much traffic on waxpool and the toll roads without toll booths would move much faster. Of course that is a fantasy but fantasies do and can happen with enough people complaining and the right people put it into action.

As far as the speed limit going up on waxpool that fantasy will never ever happen so get over it and don't break the law. If you want change get involved in a meaningful way. Unlike our last waxpool task force even Lori waters told me the other evening she thought it was a farce what steve snow was doing and Lori is getting roads built not just talking about them in her district.
Ok enough of a rant on this subject.

 

I saw that on my drive acrtoss the country.

 

I think every road in the Ashburn community should be 35-40mph only. Raising the speed limit isn't going to get you where you're going any faster, so relax folks

 

Well I am not going to argue with you my good buddy Steve. But that section of road is going under construction very soon the first phase is putting a major amount of utilities underground which I have heard is quite extensive some of which is due to verizon. I hear this can take almost an year and a half or before the road is finished. So it is going to create a traffic problem there anyway for a long period of time. It does not look like much but the utilities going underground is fairly extensive to where they are going to build a utility tunnel so there can be future expansion easier in the future. At least that is what I have been told.

Yes, it's not an isolated road. There are businesses and housing communities that abut it.

 

Steve sometimes your logic just defies logic.

Oh well it is going to be what it is going to be.

Steve, isn't your arm getting a little tired

 

Speed really has nothing to do with competent drivers. Doesn't it reason that a competent driver will drive more safely than an incompetent driver???

 

If driving at horse and carriage speed lessens (incompetent drivers) impact then maybe that's what it'll take. Good luck getting the "bad drivers" off the roads.

My mother had a friend in her 80's who refused to stop driving. She would get behind the wheel and think she was the ONLY person in a car driving on the road. Heaven help you too if you were a passenger in her car.

 

Steve how true ha ha ha ha that one had me rolling on the floor I going to use that statement a time or two!!!!!!!

Move to Boston. You'll quickly appreciate it here.

 

I absolutely think the speed limit along there should be at least 45. The road is significantly safer to travel now than it was before they widened it and the speed limit then was 55!!

 

Dammit, this is the second thread in which I find myself nodding along when I read Steve's posts. Stop making sense!

 

Well the speed limit is not going up so get over it.

Or just keeping adding to the loudoun coffers if you don't want to obey the law Like my criminal attorney brother says many of his clients say they are innocent and they get to sit in jail until until they can prove it. Or they say, I didn't break the law the law sucks and should be changed but I am still innocent really honest I am. a ha ha ha
