When is 270 not terrible? It’s always jammed on one side or the other even on weekends.

Any construction projects near you?

There are several construction spots on 270, and even when the crews aren't out working, lanes narrow and shift (in Gaithersburg especially) that slows traffic down.

Only if the Bethesda drivers are charged an a**hole driver tax.

I drive 28 to Falls to Montrose at 7am, no traffic.

In my experience (14 years of driving 270 from Frederick to North Bethesda), traffic takes until November to lighten up. It's not just 270, but all of the alternate routes, e.g., 28, 355, etc. It used to be October it would lighten up, but in the past 5 or so years, it takes until November.

Or mass transit.

Wait until November, OP. Or figure out how you can take transit. The MARC train is great if the schedule works for you.

Too many people on the roads

It is still dark for much longer.

Just slogged down another awful commute. Traffic is hell starting around 6:30. It’s usually bad in September but calm by now. What gives?
