Bay Bridge Traffic - Find a better solution to alleviate traffic issues!

Bay Bridge Traffic - Find a better solution to alleviate traffic issues!

The Issue

Please sign to help make a change to the current Bay Bridge toll and construction patterns!

Might we suggest:

1.  Electronic Tolls - This may speed up the process at the toll booth and is successful in many other states.  

2.  Construction hours - Perform construction during night hours as it has been in the past.  Another alternative is to open the westbound lane during morning and evening rush hours if possible.  

3.  Any other suggestions??

Many people commute over the bridge for work while living on the Eastern Shore.  My husband and father of 3 is one of them.  He’s been commuting over the bridge to DC for 12 years.  Commuting 4.5 hours one day this week and 3 hours two other days is unacceptable for everyone.  This can not continue for the next 2 or more years!  There have been many times during the summer we endure the same traffic back up.  This should not be a part of daily life.  This impacts our lives, schedules and more importantly time spent with family.

This new traffic norm is also causing risk to those in an emergency situation.  How are emergency vehicles supposed to get through or to the hospital?  

There has to be a better way!  Please consider signing to make a change and to spread the word to our officials.
