Flashing mrits and traffic is not impacted now. Metro gearing up for service at 5. Its on time except for ongoing red line delays. Holly, wisdom. 4 48 is the time. Its day three of new toll lanes and sticker shock continues. At one point the toll was 40 to drive the ten mile stretch. Annie yu is live on the toll there may be change coming and as you mentioned, into effect monday and basically it gives drivers another option to bypass nine miles of roadway on i 66ed in the beltway between beltway and route 21 during peek hours if they want to do it. Were ton now, guys, of course, anybody can take it right now until 5 30 a. M. And tolling kicks in. During peak hours for morning and evening rush anyone can use it. And for car poolers it is free. And here we are day three. And gave us a snapshot of what the last couple days looked like. As far as travel time and speed goes that has been successful and a54 miles an hour and travel times reduced yesterday a trip along the entire ten mile corridor ranged 3. 50 to 40 around 8 06 a. M. Theres the outrage a vorting to v doll toll fees defend on traffic often the road and use dynamic tolling to generate the pricing based off traffic volume. But as we have been saying it can be very expensive for solo drivers. Many of you have been saving your opinions. Many think its too much to pay and some argue transportation comes at a c cost. Tim wrote im okay with the tolls as it only should affect solo drivers not allowed to use 66 during rush hour anyway but should revert back to old hours. 5 30 is early to start tolling tim referring to peek window hours being ajust 0 minute or so. Vdot plan is working and travel times are down and more people car pooling and they believe solo drivers that once violated hov only prior to change are now off the road. So that is g the idea is to get more people moving with fewer vehicles and also the question guys is will now more traffic spill on to other roadways and clogging them up even more state and they say when the new plan went into effect and it would begin 6 and 7 and this is still work in progress.
