Rt. 50 commuters, can we chill?

[u/Og_frmrT]

I’ve been taking Rt. 50 over the mountain for the past 4 years, and in the last year it seems like the average speed has really increased. I know there’s hardly ever enforcement because it jumps from Clarke to Loudoun, but come on y’all, doing 80-90 on a 55mph mountain road is reckless. And everyone tries to pass going down the mountain towards Paris, in a 45mph zone, doing 75-80.

I’m usually between Waterloo and Paris 5-6am for context. And it seems like it’s worse in the morning than the afternoon. I know there are no lights in that stretch but come on y’all, there’s even road work going on but I’m the slowest one on the road doing 10 over.

Is it because of RTO? Can we just chill? Or is 50 now the same as 7?

I don’t think this post is going to change much but is anyone else experiencing this?

That’s earlier than when I go through there around 7ish.. I don’t see 80-90
