Two questions about traffic issues on opposite ends of Darnestown Road (Rt. 28) arose in this week's edition of "Bumper to Bumper" in The Gazette. Potomac's Katherine Marshall asks The Gazette why the lights between Darnestown Road and Shady Grove Road's entrance to I-270 aren't timed better for the flow of traffic. "It’s virtually impossible to go in either direction without hitting almost all (if not all the lights) ... it’s maddening," she told The Gazette, adding "This is a recent development — in the last several months or so. I kept thinking I was simply having bad luck but eventually realized it’s not me.” On the other end of the road, Poolesville's Rich Huelbig wondered if there are any plans to install turn arrows at the …
