[Scan-DC] Northbound I-95 travel times

[Doug Kitchener]

Interesting that you mention that... Maryland has this stuff in some places; I read an article about it awhile back, they did traffic studies and they did find that one of them somewhere (495/95 in PG County, I think) was causing exactly that!

(Amazingly, they removed it...)

By the way, those of you in VA who have to use that I-95 corridor or the alternatives, man, I feel for you guys - that has to be the worst commute in the area.

I grew up in Montfunkery County and have lived here all my life... have worked in places like Alexandria & Falls Church, lived in Silver Spring and commuted to Clarksburg MD... now I only have 9 miles to go, and ordinarily am only in traffic 2 days a week due to my staggered hours... I can't imagine fighting the area traffic every day.  In fact, am scheduled to attend a conference over at that new place in Oxon Hill (National Harbor, I had to look it up) next spring, and I'm staying over there for two nights rather than drive from Gaithersbush.
