Route 7 and Beulah Road is a mess in the morning

You want to know why? B/c the VDOT has been adjusting the traffic signals on Beaulah Road and Route 7 in order to make Beulah road more pleasent. What about people going Route 7 East! They get stuff all the way from Fairfax County Parkway all the way to the toll road. If you want to complain about this situation like I did write to VDOT!!!!

When I wrote to them they said that the light is going to be like that for awhile. That's going to "be the new traffic pattern". Please! Route 7 going east is bad enough in the mornings already without adjusting the traffic light for Beulah Road traffic!

You are correct. Do you know when this started? I noticed that it started last Spring time when traffic was congested at Beulah Road every morning around 7:30 am, more than it normally is around that time.

Traffic congestion caused by poor light timing seems to be some sort of VDOT plot. I sometimes think they do it to force more road construction jobs and ensure generational employment for themselves.
"What, it's backed up at the light now? Wow, what a surprise. Obviously we need a bypass. We need an overpass, we need a new parkway..."

Don't knock those overpasses. Think about how wonderful route 28 was prior to its overhaul. Bah!
Now I can cruise 70 on that road and not even flinch when I blow by a speed trap since some kid in a ricer is doing +10 on me.

This is a psyop, being done because so many are taking Rt 7 to go east instead of the "authority mandated" toll road. This is their scheme to keep driving everyone back to the toll road, it happens for awhile after each time the toll road fees go up.
They have future plans to add an extra lane to Rt 7 between Herndon/Dranesville area and the Tysons corner connection at the bridge over the toll road. That will be their trump card to get EVERYBODY over to the toll road. You better hope for a major raise in salary before that comes to pass, or you might as well take the bike paths all the way to DC.
