Things to look out for at Washington D.C.

Published by max September 10th, 2008 in Travel Info, Travel USA.

Here’s a good read for you travelers going to Washington D.C.

All directions start with “The Beltway“…which has no beginning and no end, just one continuous loop that locals believe is somehow clarified by an “inner” and “outer loop” designation, which makes no sense to ANYONE outside the area.

The morning rush hour is from 5:00 to 11:00 a.m. The evening rush hour is from 1:00 to 8:00 p.m. During the summer, Friday’s rush hour starts

Thursday morning as residents head to the beach. Construction, lane closures and emergency preparedness drills occur during all other hours.

If you actually stop at a yellow light, you will be either rear-ended or shot at. If you not to stop for a red light, smile for the $100 red light photo ticket you will receive courtesy of the District’s DMV.
