Any ideas on avoiding this area? Have you had similar problems? I drive this area on the weekends between 10 am and 12 noon. I am thinking that US 1 might be helpful but I have not been on this road. Are there a lot of stoplights and local traffic that would slow you down or can you pretty much go 50 or 60 miles and hour? Thank you.
Take 895 near U of Delaware south to 301 over the bay bridge continue on 301 through fort ap hill to I95 30 miles north of richmond VA. There are stop lights but way better than baltimore and DC traffic.
