Sucks.

six hours to get from Fredricksburg to just North of Baltimore.

You people need to learn how to drive. The whole idea is not to hit
other cars thus blocking five lanes of interstate and locking them up
in gridlock.

Morons. :)

Oh, and Virginia drivers suck.

Woulnd't be a trip report without mentioning that drivers in Virginia
suck. :)

You should have taken Rt. 301 from just north of Richmond up to
Baltimore. Or, you should have driven up US 13. from Va Beach across the
Bay Bridge to Dover Delaware.

Anyone who drives I-95 between Fredericksburg and Baltimore more than
once is an .........

You're going the wrong way. You want to pick up 301 just north of
Richmond, and take it up through that part of Virginia, over the Potomac
River, and into Southern Maryland. It's much less congested, and even if
the speed limits are lower, for most of the trip, it's pretty, scenic
country passing through some lovely farmland.

Friggin' Yankee drivers in Virginia suck. You should have hung a right and
gone up 301 before Fredricksburg. Much more enjoyable, and maybe just as
fast.

As bad as VA and DC is, it doesn't compare to a section of New Jersey
with what looks to be a 36 lane highway. I don't know if you travel
that route, but we always passed that on the way to NYC.

I often took the longer, but much more scenic Rt 84/Rt81 route when going
to Florida for exactly that reason. I'd cut back over to 95 just north of
Tennessee.

I have a bud that comes up from Fla here and there. A few years back
he started taking that route and over the years we have figured that
actual time wise, it only costs him between 1.5 to 3 hours all
together on the whole 26 hour trip. More than worth it when you figure
the aggravation you save..

Yes, we've done something similar a number of times except that we get
off 84 onto I-77; then I-26 south from Columbia, SC; cutting back in
to 95 NW of Charleston. It adds about 90 miles but is a lot less
aggravation. You also have the option of taking a little detour onto
the Blue Ridge highway which is very scenic.

Normally, that's how we go, but Mrs. Wave had to stop along the way
for an hour so we went 95.

However, that being all well and good, that corridor is a national
disgrace and if I were a citizen of Maryland or Virginia and had to
travel that route, I'd be screaming bloody murder about the incredible
incompetence of the designer and builder of that road.

They've been working on that for at least 15 years and still don't
have it right.

Some contractors welfare plan apparently.

Add in the moron drivers they have in Virginia and it's a recipe for
diaster.
