There is a new standard in DC. If one person dies in over a year it must be shut down. So safety officials have now announced that "166, 495 and any road where a pedestrian, cyclist or driver is killed will be shut down entirely until they are made safe".
Not only that said the safety official "We will have to shut down all the car dealerships".
When asked about this Don Beyer Congressman from Virginia commented "This is not fair. I don't like this. I own the car dealerships. Now I'm okay with metro shutting down and forcing more people to drive, after all it serves my interests. But don't mess with my car dealerships".
When one driver was asked they said "Yes shut the road down. I don't even care that nothing has improved in years of weekend work. We will have world class roads six months from now".
Meanwhile other politicians said "We will tolerate it. After all we have private jets, helicopters and limo drivers who don't obey the traffic laws including driving and parking on the sidewalks".
Other officials could not be reached for comment as they were busy dining and partying at the Mayflower Hotel. But one did comment "I want a bigger bonus for all of this. If the people can't get to work and have no money to shop at the grocery store, let them take a helicopter to the Mayflower and dine here too!"
