NATO: Traffic?

[Anonymous]

I'm not sure if this post was started elsewhere. I work in downtown DC and am trying to get a feel for how traffic looked today to see if I should physically go to work tomorrow or telework the next two days. I commute from North Bethesda and would consider catching the train, but prefer driving. How bad was it for those who are downtown?

Please telework. It is terrible and the last thing we need to do is have people come in who don't have to.

It took me almost double time this morning from Arlington to the Hill.

DH commutes from McLean and turned around and came back home today. Roads into the DC just weren’t moving.

Into DC. not *the* DC

I took the metro rather than driving. Was glad I did.

How will the rest of the week be? Thursday? and Airport?

[Anonymous]

wednesday and thursday are the actual meetings. fed triangle and mt vernon metro stops are closed. it is currently much faster to walk in 95° weather than drive anywhere.

OPM has given unscheduled telework all week for a good reason.

It was rough this morning at 7:45. Recommend staying home if you can.

It was horrific both ways. Parking too.

I went at 7am and it was perfectly fine! Go early.

Telework! Not worth the hassle. It should be bad through Thursday.

I was thinking of leaving at 6 and taking Clara Barton instead of GW Pkwy to avoid certain streets. I deeply dislike the metro and will just see how it goes tomorrow driving.

What about the commute home?

I came into the city from Tysons around 11:30 for a meeting and left around 2:30 and it was fine inbound and maybe slightly more congested earlier than usual outbound. I was expecting it to be a nightmare. Avoiding the area around Mt Vernon Square/Convention Center and the WH are key. And, if you can, maybe come in late and stay late?
