Shocker that people don’t know which lane to be in. I’m so glad I haven’t had a need to drive on the Beltway beyond Silver Spring to 95N in years.

Perspective is everything. If you are in a hovercraft 100 feet above ground, yes it is confusing. If you are driving that stretch it isn’t bad at all.

You better believe it. Alas, the reddit post wasn’t mine so no karma for me.

Notice the distance markers. Signs that look stacked on top of each other are actually about 1/4 mile apart. Now if you want confusing, let’s talk about the comment threads on reddit.

Right–it appears that your comment karma is much higher than your link karma.

All b/c I got in one good comment about telephone books being an outdated thing that should have been done away with a long time ago… sailed that karma ship to the top.

Where the W&OD crosses the Beltway there are now 16 lanes of traffic.
