   Anyone pull into the shoulder of the newly remarked area around Newington/Springfield?

	Is there some kinda standard for shoulder widths?

	Maybe it's the construction barrels and Jersey wall that's making it an optical illusion. I was driving my wife's minivan Northbound in the HOV lanes this past Sunday night/Monday morning... I don't think I could've fit it in the shoulder with enough room to change one of the driver's side tires... And that's with a minivan. What about a full size van/SUV/pickup truck or a wide sedan like a Crown Vic?

	I hope nobody blows a tire or has some other breakdown in the new 3 lane HOV/HOT lanes...

	-------------------------

	Times to beat:

	Horner Rd to/from Pentagon: 12 mins Without Slugs - 17 mins With slugs

	Dale City exit to/from 3rd St Tunnel, D.C. 18 mins (No slugs - Holiday)
