Sucks.

six hours to get from Fredricksburg to just North of Baltimore.

You people need to learn how to drive. The whole idea is not to hit
other cars thus blocking five lanes of interstate and locking them up
in gridlock.

Morons. :)

Oh, and Virginia drivers suck.

Woulnd't be a trip report without mentioning that drivers in Virginia
suck. :)


I often took the longer, but much more scenic Rt 84/Rt81 route when going
to Florida for exactly that reason. I'd cut back over to 95 just north of
Tennessee.

Normally, that's how we go, but Mrs. Wave had to stop along the way
for an hour so we went 95.

However, that being all well and good, that corridor is a national
disgrace and if I were a citizen of Maryland or Virginia and had to
travel that route, I'd be screaming bloody murder about the incredible
incompetence of the designer and builder of that road.

They've been working on that for at least 15 years and still don't
have it right.

Some contractors welfare plan apparently.

Add in the moron drivers they have in Virginia and it's a recipe for
diaster.

I'll tell you though .... some parts of your state (CT) is almost as bad.
I am thinking of the southern part of 95 ... Bridgeport, Stratford area.
Basically everything from New Haven south. Seems like that section is
under constant repair or re-configuration.

Also true and there is no excuse for the sorry state of affairs in
that corridor either.

This is the major vehicle artery for the entire Eastern Seaboard and a
damn nightmare.

Given that CT's own contribution to vehicular harrassement is mostly
road based, you have to admit that you don't have Virginia drivers
backing up in a traffic jam to jump lanes though and then hitting a
car in an adjoining lane which hit another car in an adjoining lane
creating a five lane traffic backup. :)
