help for drivers who pass Rosslyn

Drivers coming to Rosslyn from the east and from the south on Rt. 50 currently face the risk of missing the quick right-side ramp to Meade St.  Coming to Rosslyn from the south on GW Parkway is particularly tricky.  You have to navigate the road maze near Memorial Bridge and then quickly cut across two lines of Rt. 50 to arrive happily in Rosslyn.  
Fortunately a new digital traffic sign has been installed on Rt. 50 right above the Westmoreland Pedestrian Overpass.  This sign can be used notify drivers that they need to exit to the right immediately to get back to Rosslyn.  Possible messages to flash on the sign:
  • RIGHT NOW DONT MISS ROSSLYN
  • U TURN IMMEDIATELY
  • EXIT RIGHTLY OR REGRET GREATLY
Let's hope this sign goes into operation before too many people miss the International Design Festival now on exhibit at Artisphere.

Efforts are being made to help persons come to Rosslyn from the north and from the west.  Signage to facilitate access to Rosslyn from the east and from the south complements those efforts.  Rosslyn welcomes visitors from all the nations of the world.

Unfortunately the sign will probably be limited to traffic directions.
