Traffic at Florida and RIf you live in DC, you know traffic.

It’s said that DC’s traffic is among the top-5 worst in the United States. While I believe this (and am grateful that I don’t have to do the “Beltway Ballet” every work day), I also see some of the beauty of the L’Enfant plan: the city is imposing, the streets mighty, and the intersections hob-like. And while they are, indeed, hubs, they also weren’t envisioned as thoroughfares for automobiles.

It makes me glad I ride a bike for most of my commutes.
