[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with you in theory, of course. I do understand why people unfamiliar with driving in and around DC panic and do crazy maneuvers to make the exit, though. If you miss your exit on the GW Parkway near the Memorial Bridge, for example, you don't get a chance to turn around for quite some time. Driving on the Rock Creek Parkway can be similarly fraught. I don't know how you all navigated the tangled up roads by the Kennedy Center or the Memorial Drive/GW Parkway zig-zags without GPS. [/quote]

The signage in this area is absolutely wretched and it is way too easy to not see the correct lane until the last minute, especially if the roads are unfamiliar.
As for KCen area--I'm not even sure GPS helps.  You really just need to learn by doing or have a driving guru to show you.  I used to choose to drive through Dupont Circle at off hours just so I could learn to navigate it.[/quote]

I saw movie, The American President, before moving to DC. Had flashbacks to it the first time I drove through Dupont Circle.  [/quote]

The funny thing about that movie is that she says she was driving from the Hill to the White House, so why was she in Dupont Circle in the first place?  [/quote]
