Is there any worse stretch of road than 495 MD/VA? vol. work commute

*@%@ traffic.

I used to live in Rockville. Any stretch of freeway in the area, if it be the beltway, 95, 270, was always a problem no matter what time of the day. It was quite nice learning to drive out them because it makes driving in Oregon quite the cakewalk.

Atlanta is going to be as bad as DMV in a few years, if they don't expand MARTA I see it being a nightmare, because Marta only goes to 2 Counties, yet you got people from about 10 counties trying to drive to those 2 counties for work.

Won't really help. Over half the traffic caused in the area is due to driver stupidity.
THIS. What does the ICC matter when people will continue to shift lanes at the flip of a switch while there's a car RIGHT NEXT TO THEM? This stupid $!#%# tried to dart into my lane last week while I was right next to her. I looked at her for about 20 seconds straight before flipping her off.

The worst traffic I hit is due to HWY 4 on the way to work. It seems like there's an accident at 7:30 every single morning between Lone Tree and Hill Crest in Antioch, and traffic starts backing up on HWY 80 right where HWY 4 merges on. Sometimes it takes me half an hour to drive 5 miles.

 morning/afternoon rush-hour...its a wrap, might as well take side streets. Place turns into a parking lot.

  Yeah sittin in traffic on 495 is infuriating. Its the worst when u think you're jus gonna make a quick blast to rockville or college park or wherever & bam..ur stuck amongst the multitude. Sometimes you do get lucky where its jammed just for one mile...but I feel bad for the people commuting to & from frederick, 270 & 495 can look like death for MILES, especially on a friday afternoon

Yeap... took me about two hours to get home tonight from work. Damn shame, no accidents, just volume. And then the stoplights are setup to turn red once the previous light turns green. Disgusting.
