If you are driving to the DC area for the first time, here are a few tips that may be helpful:
CAPITAL BELTWAY. The city completely is encircled by the Capital Beltway (the western half is marked I-495, and the eastern half is I-95).
MAJOR ARTERIES. To drive into the city its best to use one of 3 major arteries: I-66E (if coming from the west), I-395N (from the south), or Rt-50W (from the east). Unfortunately there is no major artery coming in from the North-- make your way to RT-50. Best not to try and save time by coming in throught other smaller roads-- there are too many lights and ways to get lost.
RUSH HOUR. Unless you like sitting in traffic, avoid coming into town M-F between 7-9am-- and leaveing avoid 4-7pm.
QUADRANTS. There are 4 quadrants in DC--NE,SE, SW, & NW... so some streets with the same name-- are actually completly different streets in different areas of the city. 90% of the sights, embassies, nicer hotels, and places you'll likely be traveling are in NORTH WEST. Make sure the street signs end with a 'NW' and you are likely in the right area.
STREET ORIENTAION (blame L'Enfant). All the numbered streets (1st, 2nd, 3rd...) run North/South, all the letter streets (C, D, F, G...) run East/West, Streets with state names (New York, Rhode Island) run diagonally through the city.
RIGHT TURN ON RED. Many traffic lights have signs that prohibit this-- look out for them.
CELL PHONES- Its a $100 fione while driving and talking unless you are doing it handsfree
PARKING. Sorry-Street parking is scarce in DC --and almost always metered or restricted by day/time. Best to use the Hotel's underground garage. Its safe and convenient. There is a nominal daily fee -- $31.50 including DC taxes -- but you'll find our rate are generally much better than many other hotels, you get unlimite in/out priveledges-- and its much better that schlepping to the meters or moving your car at rush hour. Besides, you are coming to DC to enjoy yourself--right?!?
