Traffic
! It was fun to tell the highway expert Rappahannock does not want his road improvements and just wants the traffic to go away. ; It is not likely to be a successful strategy, however. 1 There is little pleasure living in a rural village if trucks make it nearly impossible to cross the street. And if the shortest distance between two points on the driver’s route passes through Rappahannock County, the traffic is not going to go away. ! The county needs bypasses around Sperryville and Flint Hill pow. Woodville will need one sooner rather than later. The longer the process is delayed, the more likely it will be that some residential and commercial properties are cut off from their village centers.
