Yeah, genius, New York Ave is a pretty useful route. No.
This is actually the point I was trying to make--If New York Ave was a
limited access, multi-lane freeway, the route that you suggest might be

down to the Beltway, waiting in that traffic, and then getting stuck at
the WW bridge is actually *better* than trying to struggle through the
city.
