Re: America's 75 Worst Commutes
I feel bad for all the people that have that commute. I have done it a few times and... fuck that.
Luckily for me I live 1.5 miles from my work.

"#3, Capital Beltway, surrounds Washington DC
Weekly hours of bottleneck congestion: 194
Worst bottleneck: Southbound, Exit 2A-B
Length of worst bottleneck: 1.26 mi
Weekly hours of congestion on worst bottleneck: 31
Speed of worst bottleneck when congested: 21.2 mph
The expert opinion: “It’s a rough road,” says Adam Tuss, transportation reporter for WTOP 103.5. “It has lots of twists and turns, people speed on it and it’s got a lot of slow points too. It’s certainly not a freeway without its challenges.”
Shazaam.
I fucking hate when I have to make the drive through DC to baltimore once a month. Unless I leave at 2 AM, it's guaranteed that I will hit traffic on the Outer Loop.

Re: America's 75 Worst Commutes
Yea it sucks ass on Fridays I get to deal with 495 . 95s through fredericksburg, and then the HRBT coming into the beach. A lot of the time I get the added bonus of traffic jams in Williamsburg , 95-295 Richmond bypass, and 64-264 interchange.

Re: America's 75 Worst Commutes
I dread every Friday afternoon when I leave work at Falls Church and hike down to Virginia Beach it takes 2-4 hours just to get passed Fredericksburg a lot of the time. I remember the last time I drove up to Connecticut and made it in about 6 hours from DC, I was pissed because a few weeks earlier it had taken me nearly 8 hours to get to the Beach. I have been a city boy mostly all my life, but after living in DC and traveling nearly every weekend to the Beach I am ready to live out in the country for a bit. I hope when I get my orders its for like Cherry Point or something.
