It does seem to get worse daily. Even in Prince William County it's too much for me, I had to start ridding with a coworker and come into work an hour earlier just because I was becoming so fed up with Rt. 29 in Gainesville which is my only real way to go to get to Wellington Road. It took me 45 minutes on Tuesday to drive the 2.5 miles from Haymarket to Gainesville. and driving a clutch tranny in traffic that moves 0.2 mph in 15-20' bursts is a royal PITA.
I want to know if there is another spot of congestion as bad as the Rt. 29N section in Gainesville just before getting to I-66. So far I know of no other area that it daily takes 25+ minutes to move 2 miles even when there is NO ACCIDENT!!!

The toll road east where it meets 495 is amazingly bad during rush hour....66 east and 495 during am rush hour, rt.50 in chantilly during rush hour, 28 south @ walney road during pm rush hour....there is to many places...Nova is just plain old garbage.
