As with many videos, viewers enjoy the quality of them. I especially enjoy the DC area videos since there's a lot of future improvement. However, there is one suggestion I have for your DC area videos.

I suggest when you drive to or through the Washington metro area you can use local music for these videos. For many of your other videos (e.g. I-278 East, Brooklyn, New York) you did use local music so why not the same for the DC area?

Please reply if you agree. Thank you.

@MyMultimedia I use what I feel fits the footage, if it happens to be a local act so be it, I'm not purposely slighting DC area talent and with kind of music I use I'm not if I know of any.

Hey Jim, we got the 4th lane open now after Fort Belvior. It definitely helps during normal traffic...rush hour is a different story. Even 16 lanes 1 direction wouldn't help in DC that way.

Regarding HOT Lanes: 95 south of DC into Virginia is a beehive of construction, and not a very nice place to drive right now. My current understanding of the HOT Lane concept is that there will be no limit to the toll charged for single or double occupant vehicles -as congestion increases, the toll to use the lanes will increase proportionately, thus reducing congestion by cost. Vehicles with 3 or more occupants will travel for free.

What I lament most about the widening of The Capital Beltway is the destruction of the forestation that surrounds the highway. Yes, the road has always been plagued with heavy traffic, but we used to have pleasant trees to look at as we sat in congestion. As a long-time resident, I am very sorry to see the trees being plowed away.

Hi, I'm a Washingtonian, and I last commented on this video 1 year ago regarding the amazing HOT lane activity going on around the DC region. Currently, the inner and outer loops of the Virginia portion of the Capital Beltway are a mess of bulldozers, lane closures, and dangerous lane shifts amongst a bleak landscape of red clay dirt and heavy machinery -

Me and my family finally made it home to Northern Virginia. It was back in the 90's when I use to live in Northern Virginia
