Re: cars/buses mingling :
Why not to change the bus stops to the new, overflow lot? This will open up quite a few parking spaces on the regular lot and improve the traffic flow. Slugging is a great way to de-congest the roadway. Please, don't make it difficult for drivers to pick up passengers. There are easier, more logical ways of doing this. |

I suspect there is a sign that says "parking in designated spaces only". Since there are no lines marking these as parking spaces they are not "designated".

So start towing them already. All these cars parked haphazardly make maneuvering around the lot in the afternoon difficult.

Source?
Are they planning on putting in signage or painting the curb? http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e170/pele2048/HOT%20Lanes%20unsafe/ATT03951.jpg Note that there are FIVE cars parked in the line. I had a lengthy discussion last Thursday with a Prince William County officer after several other slug drivers and I called in about the parking along the curb in the Pentagon slug pickup. There are no signs that designate it as a loading and unloading zone. There is no yellow or red paint on the curb. It's not enforceable... Only the van that was blocking the handicap access ramp was ticketed. Funny thing though... I've gotten tickets at Horner Rd. for parking on the curb that wasn't a loading/unloading zone. |

I am relaying this message from the Prince William County Police Department. They are trying to get the word out on a traffic issue at Horner Road Commuter lot. Here is the announcement:
The Prince William County Police Department is seeking the public’s cooperation in correcting a safety situation at the Prince William Parkway / Telegraph Road ( Horner Road ) Commuter Lot. At the bus stops, passenger cars are co-mingling with the buses in the designated BUS ONLY lane during the morning rush. This is unsafe and forces the buses to stop in the travel lane, which further delays through traffic. The parking of vehicles on the back side of the bus stop islands may be contributing to this – the back side is traditionally where the informal slug lines made pick-ups. The parking of vehicles in this area is not inside of a designated space and will no longer be permitted. Violators will be ticketed and/or towed. Please help pass the word to other drivers and slugs. |
