Top 5 Driving Hazards
Airports | Amtrak | Buses | Capital Weather Gang | D.C. snow emergency | Plowing plans | Rails | Snow removal | Live traffic I just got back from taking the GridSpouse to Dulles airport via neighborhood streets, the Capital Beltway in Maryland and Route 267. If you’re driving on local streets or highways in the D.C. area Monday, these are the main hazards. 1) Lanes disappear. Highway driving can be quite exciting, and not in a good way. You may be driving along just fine at 55 mph when the car in the right lane swerves in front of you. That driver’s lane just disappeared into a snow bank. That can happen on the left side of the highway as well. Some merge lanes also are buried in snow. 2) Lane conditions deteriorate. Even the middle lanes are problematic. Quite suddenly, drivers encounter patches of solidified slush. Some swerve.
