I reside at Skyline Plaza Condominium. Leesburg Pike (ROUTE 7) and at intersection of South George Mason Drive, is very dangerous. Speeders go right through red lights and pedestrians are in high danger. Elected officials have been notified of such danger. However, the speeders are still disobeying the law.
