The problem centers around the 270 split and the "Rockville Rollercoaster",
which is the set of exits after the split between Wisconsin Avenue and
Colesville Road (right by Holy Cross Hospital).  With all the traffic
pouring in from VA, not to mention the Rockvill/Bethesda traffic, it's
no wonder it's always snarled.  I know of know other place along theb
beltway that has 3 major routes converge like that.
