Baltimore-Washington Parkway

It’s a beautiful stretch of road, especially during fall, but traffic for no reason sucks! It usually slows between NASA and NSA. Pretty smooth road surface which is good for my suspension and wheels!

«A fan of the Baltimore-​Washington Parkway?!» I know that’s what you are thinking, but it’s true. Sure it get backed up. Sure it’s only two lanes. Sure it can be a beast if there is an accident up ahead. But you know what? During the fall, it’s one of the most beautiful highway drives you can have with all off the changing leaves and gentle curves this way and that. It makes travel just a little bit better. Even during the winter, this stretch can look beautiful with baren branches trimmed in snow. Perhaps I am a bit overly romantic when it comes to commuting, but I was really struck by the beauty this morning, so had to share ;)

I don’t care what day of the week it is. It’s ALWAYS traffic

Please note: There ARE cops everywhere — and not just regular cops, but State Troopers.
GREAT way to get to and fro… until it drizzles/​rains or there’s even a chance of «wintry mix».
It would be nice if they extended the third lane from exit 195 (BWI Airport) going South.

Gets me to work in a hurry.
And no coppers!
Two thumbs up for 295 !

The left lane is for passing. THE LEFT LANE IS FOR PASSING! This road is notorious for slow ass left lane squatters. And usually they’re squatting at the same speed as the slow ass in the right lane.
And I resent the low speed limit.
However, 295 plays a very important role in getting from MD to NoVA. 295 to 395 is the best way into NoVa. Even if having to get to the Reston area, 295 to 395 to GW Pkwy. This was my route to avoid 495 like the plague, but I’m not so sure now with the ICC open. But if having to go to the Arlington/​Alexandria/​Crystal City areas, 295 is the way to go.
PS, the «good for kids» question? No. Because you curse loudly and often.

Ha! First time reviewing a road so bear with me :)
I like this highway because it is fast and traffic is not awful most of the time. It is a up kept well and the scenery is lovely. It is not a quiet highway though and there are cars on it at all hours. Overall, its a highway but not a bad one!

BW Parkway — 295? I’m not sure what’s to review for a highway. It is definitely the fastest way to BWI airport from downtown baltimore. Unfortunately, it backs up at peak times b/​c it’s only 2 lanes for most of it between DC and Bmore. Watch out for the speedtrap just north of the 695 interchange… I regularly see cops staked out for the northbound lanes there.
