Has anyone else noticed that, for the most part, during rush hour,
the traffic on the VA parts of the Beltway moves a lot smoother than
the MD parts? (except the 95N/95S/395/495 snarl, of course)

my experience has been that in VA, traffic moves reasonably well, with
the occasional slow down; but as soon as I cross the American Legion
Bridge into MD, slam on those brakes, it's parking lot time!  traffic
becomes a crawl.

I think it has something to do with the way the exits are designed, but
I'm no civil engineer, so I can't really say for sure.  Anyone else have
any ideas?
