Master Police Officer John Alford, who works for the Fairfax County Police Department’s McLean District Station traffic team, told the crowd that they get the most complaints about traffic in the surrounding blocks near the Balls Hill Road and Georgetown Pike intersection. There is not enough room to pull over traffic violators near the intersection without causing safety hazards or further traffic backups. The VDOT is working on widening and lengthening the shoulder. “Once that shoulder gets widened and it gets blessed for safety issues, we’re going to be out there,” he said. “We’re going to be making our Christmas card list a little bit longer … People will either love us or hate us.”
