Every one of my close calls has been right here. There are 2 ramps to 3 major highways (495, 395, 95) and separate 395 HOV, plus continuing on straight. The signs work if you know where you want to go, but we're on the bottom of the beltway circle, so most people can't figure out if north/south/east is correct, which leads to a lot of last second swerves between ramps. Plus there's a 5 lane light just before the exchange, so people filter into the shortest line at reds, and then have to move into the lane they actually want to be in. Twice I've locked the rear, once pulled a stoppie, and several times swerved nearly into the divider because some contractor van realized he was headed to 495 N and really wanted 495 E.

Endless Mike posted:This is all exactly why I avoid the Beltway as much as is humanly possible. (Hey local guy!) The rest of the beltway on the VA side doesn't bother me. The rebuilt 395 interchange tho, scary poo poo. And I live a mile away, so I have to use it all the time. It works pretty well for keeping traffic flowing, but christ does it make people drive like morons.
