This is true. But I'd rank the horribleness 1) MD 2) DC 3) VA.

495 in MD is like a junior-level NASCAR race at Talladega. Only there is no safety car and it never ends.

I'm glad my exit for school is right where 495 starts in MD, so I never have to deal with that nonsense. I do however have to deal with the 495 traffic everyday. Also, anyone else think there's way too many speed cameras on 95? It's ridiculous.

The only speed camera that I knew about it was down in South Carolina. I don't travel North so I would not know and don't want to know.

Is enough with the cameras in town here in VA.

MD's not bad. You just have to know what you're dealing with. Most counties have placed cameras near road construction and in school zones. These are the counties who maintain the pretense that they care about safety. Then you have places like Baltimore City and Montgomery County, who strategically placed their cameras to maximize income. They care about the cameras as a money grab. They are the war zones.

And thats where I live, Montgomery County, Gaithersburg is a prime example, its considered a rich area, and theres cameras all over that city.. its kinda funny.

You know what really bothers me the most about Maryland, they make sooo much money off of bullsh*t, where does all that money go, the roads ARE still horrible. That irritates the heck outta me.

Md gov't is incredibly wasteful and/or corrupt. I love my state, but you won't hear me defending the crooked a$$holes we put into office.
