[quote=Anonymous]Traffic sucks during those times.

I live in Del Ray, work near 19th and I St NW. Monday is usually okay, Friday is perfectly fine to drive in. Friday can probably get there in under 20 minutes. Monday a bit longer.

Middle of the week? Forget it. It can take anywhere from 30 minutes to close to an hour depending on whether anything goes wrong and what time you leave. I’ve started taking the metro, which isn’t quick either from our area (because the metro is not that close) but at least if my spouse drops me off at the metro I can do the trip in about 35-40 minutes. Close to an hour on the way home if I don’t get picked up and have to walk, but at least I’m not stuck in nightmare traffic even if it would be a bit shorter.

If you want to drive during the middle of the week, leave before 8am going out and before 4pm on the reverse, or otherwise after 9am and 6pm (6:30pm?) depending on what your life and schedule allows.

This all got much worse when feds were ordered back into the office. Though the proliferation of stop lights on Richmond highway hasn’t helped either (I remember a time when local officials tried to improve traffic flow instead of make it worse, but alas…).[/quote]
