Attn drivers at Rt 610 lot in the morning: can you please pull into the lot the correct way? It really jams things up when you pull in and try to take the short-cut...imperative word here is cut!!! Not to mention, the buses have a terrible time trying to get out in the mornings when the line is going the wrong way. I waited in line 30 minutes this morning while watching cars pull right up to the line and get in front of us cars that waiting forever this morning. Please have some courtesy for those of us who do try to follow the rules of slugging at 610! thanks!!
Slugs- if you don't walk down that way looking for a ride, maybe they will not pull in the wrong way. :-)

This has been an ongoing topic about that lot. I laugh everytime I see the idiot drivers turning left at the stoplight, especially when the line is long, sometimes blocking the intersection. Many of them don't understand that there is a "correct" and safer way. Until VDOT reconfigures that lot it just won't happen. I'm sure the Martz busses would just love to drive up and over some of those cars some days.
I tried explaining it to a driver that was complaining about it but she didn't want to hear about the fact that it made more sense to come in the correct way. Unfortunately, many slugs that walk the line find it easier to approach those cars than the ones coming in correctly.

I actually sent a letter to VDOT yesterday....let's see if they do anything. Probably not, but I couldn't let it go anymore. I am sick of getting cut in front of while trying to do things the right way. It is bad, but this morning I went to Potomac Mills and picked up slugs because cars were all lines up the wrong way again. I waiting 30 minutes yesterday and there were only 4 cars in front of me....totally drives me crazy!I can see why all the fights happen at that lot. I felt like ramming my car into someone yesterday. LOL...
