With the upcoming rail construction, we can all expect a bit more traffic around the Tysons area. Northern Virginia is already plagued with heavy traffic. With news of VDOT’s plan to cut 51% of the region’s road-building program, the roads are only going to get worse.

Without improvements, Beltway-type backups will soon reach suburban back yards as roads fail to keep up with the region’s growth. Cars will continue to wait through four or five traffic signals to make a simple turn. Buses will fall further behind schedule. Even non-commuters will be affected: When feeder roads become crammed, drivers with an eye on the clock start taking shortcuts through neighborhoods, turning quiet streets into major commuter arteries.
