--------------2B07602F264C9A2B1E486716 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Judy, I live in Silver Spring and commute to Laurel. I travel on 495 from Georgia Avenue heading east and use I-95 north from anytime between 7:30am and 9am. I have only encountered a back-up once in two years of commuting on that section of the beltway. Meanwhile, the west-bound lanes virtually always resemble a parking lot! As a reverse commuter, this fact does brighten my day in the mornings. In the reverse direction I take Rt 29, since I've found that even in the evenings, the same stretch of road between I-95 and Georgia Ave. is subject to slow traffic and numerous delays. You may not be slowed too much, however, since you'd be taking the New Hampshire Avenue exit. Hope this helps. M.
