Heavy traffic congestion continues to plague Route 610 (Garrisonville Road) in North Stafford, prompting concerns from County Supervisor Tinesha Allen regarding traffic signal timing and drivers’ habit of blocking intersections, commonly known as “blocking the box.”
Allen emphasized the need for adjustments to signal alignment along the corridor, spanning the 5-mile stretch of Route 610 from Washington Drive to Shelton Shop Road, including major secondary roads like Mine and Eustace roads. She highlighted the significant backups during rush hours, particularly at intersections lacking synchronized signals, exacerbating congestion from Washington Drive to Eustace and again from the Park Ridge neighborhood to Shelton Shop Road.
