This is just one facet of Montgomery County's policy of optimizing roads to move as many vehicles as possible, rather than designing them to be shared by all users. The reversible lanes are not likely to change until the underlying policy changes.

Due to the current flurry of interest in Bus Rapid Transit, improving the movement of buses may be a good lever at the moment to get at the basic policy issue. ACT has written a letter to the County Executive requesting specific changes in intersection management:

It would be helpful if people would write to the county executive - ocemail@montgomerycountymd.gov - to ask him to implement these bus priority improvements.
