If VDOT hasn't acquiesced to your demands yet, chances are slim. I hate to tell you this, because I hate when people do it to me, but you CAN get it fixed if you send lots of letters to the higher-ups at the DOT. They don't care so much about delay, and they'll gladly force their engineers to do what the voting public says just to get you off their backs.

Haha, I pretty much gave up. If it's for safety, it's for safety. The locals definitely don't race down the street to make the green lights, because they know it'll turn red before they can make it. In that respect, I agree, it's safer. Thanks for the reply!

if you jumped on 28 you'd get to Orbital pretty quick, even quicker now with them getting rid of the lights in that area.

In any case I have to contend with driving from Lowes Island area on 7 to Tysons which really is a red light traffic nightmare if you hit the wrong lights. Though when there's not to much traffic and everyone drives the speed limit or slightly below you can make it through most on green.

That's what I've been doing since they removed the lights between Route 7 and Steeplchase. Also, they're closing left turns from Route 28 to Steeplechase starting August 3rd. They will still allow right turns from Steeplechase to Route 28 though. I feel your pain about driving on Route 7 in the mornings, I shouldn't complain!

This has been so weird to see, watching 28 become a highway (complete with a speed limit raise!)

It's about time! What's the new speed limit on 28? I still see signs for 55mph.
