Reeling in the year: A look back at some 2022 characters
from his apartment in a Crystal City high-rise toward I-395 below? Dave captures all kinds of vehicular shenanigans on the cameras, many involving daft, desperate and dangerous attempts to cross four lanes of traffic to get from Boundary Channel Drive to the Route 1 South exit.
Since my column ran in March, Dave’s seen some improvements. VDOT installed white flex-posts at the Route 1 off-ramp, dissuading drivers from creeping over. “I have seen almost no one going through the posts,” Dave wrote in an email. “There are a lot of people who start to make their move across the lanes, see the posts, change their minds and keep heading south on 395. While it has reduced a bit of the craziness it’s still occurring in great numbers.”Online map programs are not supposed to recommend dangerous routes. Recently, someone pointed out to Dave that Google Maps was again routing drivers from Boundary Channel onto the left side ramp.
“So that’s good,” he wrote. “The biggest issue remains drivers who will do just about anything to avoid missing their exit and don’t seem to care who they put in danger. VDOT isn’t going to change that behavior. Selfish, dangerous driving abounds. And it isn’t just here.”is the young nature photographer from Dumfries, Va., I wrote about in September. She’s 12 now.
