Many others use this same route. Best all weather. almost no traffic bottlenecks. No speed traps almost all interstate Routes.
VA 17 helps avoid the usual traffic bottlenecks in Northern VA, DC, and Baltimore. But VA 17 is not a simple route to follow without a GPS because it's not a highway and full of turn-offs. We took it once going North and while it was very scenic, we vowed not to use it again, and especially in the dark. We much prefer the 95, I-26, 77, to I-81. But like art, everyone has their personal preference.
