Washington DC Area Insider TipsThe Inside Scoop From Seasoned I-95 Travelers
Timing is Everything: Avoid 6-9:30 AM and 3-7 PM on weekdays at all costs. Traffic can add 2+ hours to your trip. Friday afternoons are nightmare territory (starts around 2 PM). Weekends are better, but Sunday evenings get congested.
The Mixing Bowl & Springfield Interchange: Where I-95, I-395, and I-495 meet - one of the worst bottlenecks in America. Stay alert for sudden lane changes and merging traffic. GPS can be confusing here; know your route beforehand.
Tolls & Express Lanes: The I-95 Express Lanes in Virginia use dynamic pricing (can hit $40+ in rush hour). You'll need an E-ZPass for best rates; "pay-by-plate" costs significantly more. Regular lanes are free but slower during peak times.
Speed Enforcement: The state of Virginia is notoriously strict (especially south of DC). Watch for speed cameras in Maryland work zones. Pace with traffic but stay aware.
