610 lot in Stafford

   I do wish that there would be some enforcement of the s directing drivers to proceed around the back of the lot and make the left turn to enter the pick up area. These sign were erected so the buses exiting the pick up area would not have to wait for an opening.

	 The past two mornings I have almost been hit by drivers that are ignoring the signage and blocking the buses. Does anyone know which agency has jurisdiction in the commuter lots?[V]

	Virginia State Police. But unless the bus company complains, don't expect too much.

	Well, as I'm about to retire and have nothing else to do, I just may stand out there every morning and point to the sign to remind the folks of the correct way to go.[}:)]

	I wouldn't expect too much to change until the lot expansion is completed and the traffic configuration will be changed. I've even had a couple drivers that come in the "wrong" way complain about the traffic backup, told them they are supposed to go around the back way (and the backup line is usually shorter) but they just acted like they didn't want to be inconvenienced and were above following the signs. It's been that way for years and as was stated, unless the bus companies complain, nothing will be done.
