| How bad will traffic in DC be today? DH works down by the FBI building. Has to be in today. Will it be horrible getting there and getting home tonight? |
| Can he metro? |
| He should metro |
| Nope - can’t metro. Op here. |
| What am I missing? Why bad traffic today? |
|
Why is traffic going to be bad today?
|
I see why now. |
| I don’t think anyone knows but street closures are Extensive. At a minimum he should budget extra time. |
| Curious why he can’t metro. Even if he is just avoiding the downtown core that might be worth it. |
Can you share? Where are you seeing this? |
March for Israel on the national mall. https://wtop.com/dc/2023/11/huge-crowd-expected-on-dcs-national-mall-for-march-for-israel/ |
Op - we don’t live close enough to a metro to make it worth it. It would add 30-40 mins on both sides of his trip. So unless traffic adds over an hour to his trip it is still more worthwhile to drive (I think). |
| Traffic is predicted to be horrible. Even extra time for metro is probably worth it. |
| He should have different options for trip home and avoid the most crowded areas. May be a good day to work late. |

In my expereince from working downtown and marches - by the end of the day it is fine.
Also - as long as he is already on his way - he will be fine. There are a bunch of charter buses coming in - but if he typically commutes in - he knows the tricks for where to turn when he sees traffic backing up. |
