Reply to comment by The_4th_Little_Pig in I know it shouldn't be, but it's always weird seeing DC on a random, unrelated sub. by snow-days

Yea, there’s something called the capital beltway where you can bypass going through DC. I’m a suburbanite in VA and I metro into DC, rarely ever drive. If I want to go northeast of that into Maryland or other states, I drive around it on the beltway. If I/you insist on cutting through DC, well there’s 695/295 so at least you’re on the interstate and elevated above the city, not driving through the dense city streets.

Thank you. There's ZERO reason to drive into the city with all the transit options we have in the area. Furthermore, why would you WANT that hassle? I literally don't even like ubering on some days because it's that insane. Quicker to walk/scooter/or Metro

Right lol, I’ll admit I’ve driven through DC before, but I wouldn’t want to do that at all. Especially in the context of this thread where people are sitting in a traffic jam to see some cherry blossoms.
