WASHINGTON, Northern Virginia is home to some of the worst traffic bottlenecks in the country, according to a recent report. A study has found that Northern Virginia is home to the worst traffic access point in the U.S. Not surprisingly, that location is the southbound stretch of Interstate 95 from Fairfax County Parkway to Fredericksburg. While I-95 represented the worst traffic point, Inrix found that, overall, Area D, C.
ranks third, after New York and Los Angeles, in terms of overall traffic congestion. The study analyzed more than 100,000 hotspots in 25 of the country's most traffic-congested cities.

The push for a people-oriented study came from the efforts of State Senator Scott Surovell, who represents some of the areas within the corridor in Northern Virginia.
He said the Virginia National Guard should have been deployed, although state emergency management officials said the Guard is not typically called in such situations. When the Katy Highway was expanded in Houston in the early 2000s, traffic worsened over time, and traffic is now worse than it was before the expansion. Kaine said Wednesday that Virginia could possibly use federal dollars from the recently passed federal infrastructure law to improve the chances of preventing another catastrophe in the I-95 corridor. In addition, Virginia has a number of trails along the East Coast Greenway intended to provide biking and hiking trails across the state and the entire East Coast.
But that statement ignores the many examples of dangerously long traffic jams that have occurred globally, nationally, and even in Virginia not long ago. That's a conclusion reached by the Virginia Department of Transportation after studying how to improve the busy I-95 corridor across the state. The Virginia State Police will conduct an internal review, as does the agency for any significant response operation, spokeswoman Corinne Geller said Wednesday. But I-95 in Northern Virginia often makes the New Jersey Turnpike look like a quiet country road.
Virginia Department of Transportation officials said the agency had begun its own examination when commuters and driver advocates questioned how a major artery near Washington became a snow-covered parking lot, forcing motorists to rely on themselves and the others to spend the night. She said police will also participate in a post-action review through the Virginia Department of Emergency Management. When weather conditions and accidents locked motorists in a traffic jam on Interstate 95 in Virginia for more than 24 hours, most of the reactions caused shock and surprise. Canaan Merchant was born and raised in Powhatan, Virginia and attended George Mason University, where he studied English.
While that stretch of I-95 in northern Virginia could be particularly bad, the crisis, which left people stranded in cars in freezing temperatures without access to food or water, is emblematic of the disasters the United States faces in increasing numbers and with near-uniform poverty preparedness. Another big project is improvements in real-time traffic adjustments on nearby roads, such as US-1, which is a local alternative to I-95 that often faces overwhelming reinforcements that block parts of the road, when there are collisions.
