Ez-Pass Flex (Leesburg, Herndon: new house, live, airport)

[LakeLifePA]

I just moved into my new house in Herndon (20170) and my route to work is Leesburg Pike (7 East) to 495 South. The route is fine until I get to Tyson's corner of course and have to drudge through all that traffic to finally make it to 495. I'm not interested in paying tolls, so I don't use the express lanes even though it would be of great benefit for me to use 267 to slice that little off corner that is Tyson's out of my path.

I commute via motorcycle when the weather cooperates, and I swear as I glanced at 267 this morning I saw an Ez-Pass Flex sign for it going towards 495. I was under the impression that only 495 had the Flex lanes. Does that little corner of the Dulles Toll Road have it too? If no one knows here I may have to just try it tomorrow. Thanks in advance.

No, only 495 does. They have signs before 495 to explain what Ezpass Flex is.

Since you live close to the airport, you could drive there and take the first exit, make a u-turn, and get on the dulles toll road access lanes for airport passengers. That would let you avoid 7 all together. If you do that, just be observant and make sure no police are following, because they look for people who do this (I wouldn't drive a motorcycle if you did this; would be obvious).

Thank you so much for the information gomason, and that makes perfect sense.
