No by 7pm on friday it's all clear, most people knock off early on friday in D.C., by 7 everyone is already home and most of the traffic will be outbound.

95 on a Friday night is always crowded because people are travelling between Maine, Florida, and everywhere in between. Best to avoid 95 during that time if possible. 270 won't be that bad on a Friday going into dc.

Depends on which way you're traveling on 95 on a Friday night. Going into town on a Friday night is generally okay from every route, but I would think it's a safe bet that 270 is going to be the smoothest route into DC if you have a choice.

If it works for you geographically, park on the tip of a Metro line and experience in/out...you will nonetheless get caught in site visitors once you bypass away yet you have got bypassed (and not contributed to) area of the jam.

1270 tends to clear by 9p-1 95 on friday, doesnt
