The Board of Supervisors candidates are no strangers to Fairfax County’s traffic problems. Many even agree on the biggest problem areas: The Interstate 66 corridor, Route 7 and Route 1 and, thanks to the recent relocation of Defense Department personnel, the roads around Fort Belvoir. But traffic problems run deeper than a few clogged lanes in Fairfax, and that fact of commuter life has become a prominent part of many candidates’ campaigns.

Their supervisor campaigns distinguish themselves in the details. Candidates — there are 20 running in Tuesday’s election for 10 board seats — built campaign platforms around specific intersections that need work or calls for fewer speed bumps on residential streets. In Fairfax, there are more than enough traffic issues to go around.
