Most recent two day trip north was last weekend. Looked at a map today and noticed a rte 301 which bypasses all of Richmond, DC and Baltimore. Can be picked up off of 95 south of Richmond, then through Delaware, Maryland and connect to 95 close to Delaware Bridge and on to Jersy Turnpike.
Question: Anyone familar with this?
How is this route? How is the highway regarding traffic lights, reduced speed limits, going through small towns etc?
On the map it looks great. Will be heading bk in six weeks wd like to try it.
Thanks in advance
Lots of towns to go though on 301 so lots of traffic including troopers so be careful. This is from a retired Maryalnd trooper. Lots of traffic lights so stop and go. It opens up somewhat in VA. 301 is a very old route so very populated now. Be safe on your trip.
