    Evening commute thru brandywine has become a disaster. Red light timing to blame

    i received a response from the md sha request i made a while back when all the traffic started to get far worse in the evenings coming home. They did look into it and found a problem that was fixed. The traffic going home thru there has been better lately also. Just wanted to update the post...

    Evening commute thru brandywine has become a disaster. Red light timing to blame

    love your response. I feel exactly the same. Ive hit that mess some days at 5pm and its backed up 4 miles out from the red lights near chick filet. It has been better over the last 2 or so days, for unknown reasons. Its pot luck how crappy and jammed up that area will be usually.

    Evening commute thru brandywine has become a disaster. Red light timing to blame

    It seems by the time they plan out and build the poor improvements they decide on, it lasts a few months before its a mess again. 2 red lights were removed in Brandywine and it still is a crawl going thru there. It just backs up from the next red light you would have hit. The last 2 days...

    Evening commute thru brandywine has become a disaster. Red light timing to blame

    I would agree with you there. I have been commuting that way over 10 yrs. It is always a mess however the last 2 or more weeks its been amplified. I would say 20 plus minutes more to navigate from about The plant nursery on branch ave to past the target lights. Once the bypass was done and...

    Evening commute thru brandywine has become a disaster. Red light timing to blame

    I commute thru brandywine on 301/branch ave south in the evenings about 5pm. Over the last 2 or 3 weeks it has become a total horror show. It was never good but now its hit an all time low. I've seen traffic backed up from the red light by the target plaza 3 or 4 miles back. I noticed this...

    Would you rather have that hour of sunlight in the morning or the evening?

    fully agree, this back and forth switch blows stay with daylight savings time for good and be done with it. sure a little more light in the am to work is great but many of us have a long commute and work long hours so your get daylight in the am, but darkness in the evening. Im out the door...

    Deer carcass in my driveway

    My father in law hunts and i ask him about this situation often. He said often a good ammount of the meat is damged and unusable from the impact. That being said you may have a hard time finding someone interested to take this for the meat. You may want to look into contacting DNR or whoever is...

    Garbage/trash services you'd recommend?

    yes. I Have done this and since i authorized the EFT i can only cancel future transfers or if it was a reoccurring payment cancel that. This whole situation sucks and i need to find out a way to fairly easily obtain my money back since the service seems to be non existent any more.

    Garbage/trash services you'd recommend?

    old post here but i wanted to share my experience. I have had several places over the years and some go under and leave you with a can full of garbage sitting a week while you wait for your paid pick up that never happens. I was with GOODE for a while and they sold me off to some other company...

    Opinion wanted: driving.

    looking at this on the map in street view it looks like the far right lane is wide open and designed for turn offs into parking lots and so on. With what i saw i would have gone out into that lane built up my speed to match traffic and merged in. I feel its safer if you merge out in a 2 step...

    Does anyone

    I have seen programs in some states where you just need to email or text a picture of the car sitting in a handicapped spot with the license plate. If there parked there illegally of course. The offender will get a nice fat $500 ticket sent his way to the address registered. This program was...

    Who else enjoys being cut off by the SOMD commuter buses.

    I see Keller buses and martz also. Martz seems to be the more common one now. Ive been badly cut off by the same bus over a 3 day window. I remembered the N# on the back of the bus from the 1st time and when it happened again said oh how ironic. I saw one dive and cut in front of someone...

    Who else enjoys being cut off by the SOMD commuter buses.

    I commute daily to the upper Md area from SOMD area and have for many years. I cant help but notice now how many commuter buses there are now and how poorly and aggressively they drive. I have been cut off and pushed over into other lanes by them many times. When you call or email the companies...
